Looking for something to help get you in the holiday mood? How about something festive to get the family out of the house? Well you are in luck. Between now and Christmas, there are a variety of events around the city to help! I have tried to come up with as many of the events, shows and tours as possible to help you plan your holiday season:
27th Annual Holiday in the Park
Legion Park on JR Miller Boulevard and Byers Ave. will be decorated for the Holi
Are your little ones looking forward to the arrival of Santa Clause? Well they don’t have to wait until Christmas to get a visit from the Man in Red. This Saturday, December 1st, they cannot only visit Santa; they can have breakfast with him!
The Owensboro Family YMCA is holding their 2nd Annual Breakfast with Santa this Saturday
November 29, 2012 St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is all about taking care of the children who are fighting for their lives. They do their best to make sure the kids are having fun and enjoying their regular lives as much as possible. And, this Christmas, you can help out too!
November 29, 2012 Every year I broadcast live from our Christmas Wish office and this year is no different. The office opened on Monday in Towne Square Mall, but I won't be over there until this coming Monday.
Yesterday, Chad called and asked me to go over to the office when I got off the air and help investigate letters. Of course I said "Sure!", but was thinking "Ugh, I'd rather not." Yep, you know what's coming next.... It doesn't take too many phone calls to realize just how lucky and blessed we all are.
Last week while out Black Friday (well Thanksgiving night) shopping, I was rear-ended while waiting at a stoplight. Thankfully no one was hurt and both cars were fine, but it got me thinking about a couple things
November 27, 2012 It's a Christmas tradition for Chad, Dave and I to broadcast live from Gaylord Opryland Resort. I'll be honest, being here really kicks me into the Holiday Spirit every year! We also always go to the dinner show at the resort. For the last few years Louise Mandrell, but this year, Lorrie Morgan is here for her Enchanted Christmas Dinner & Show. Dinner was great, the show was great and you should check it out!
I knew that y'all would want to see pictures, so I took lots for you to check out! Bad thing is I'm a terrible photographer, sorry! So, look if you must, but don't expect greatness!
November 27, 2012 The Christmas season is in full swing and WBKR is headed south to celebrate it "country" style. Gaylord Opryland Resort's "Country Christmas" is underway and Jaclyn, Dave Spencer and I are ready to celebrate!
November 26, 2012 Black Friday was CRAZY busy and, once again, WBKR listeners were out in force, hitting the department stores and malls in their limited edition WBKR holiday t-shirts from Terry's Tees. And our secret Santa shoppers were out too . . . just waiting to spot lucky listeners and surprise them with grand prize packages. And, yes, the cameras were rolling to catch all the excitement. Let's meet the big winners . . .
November 25, 2012 Last year was my first experience at the Hadi Shrine Circus in Evansville. Carsyn LOVED it and so did I. So, of course we had to go back this weekend. One elephant ride and princess face-painting later... it was just as much fun as it was before! I've heard from so many of you that it's a family tradition to go Thanksgiving weekend to the circus and I'm thinking that it's going to be a tradition of ours from now on too.
Does YOUR family go?
November 23, 2012 We're just a day away from one of the most exciting and hilarious holiday parties you will ever attend! It's WBKR and Henderson Chevrolet's "Ultimate Dirty Santa Party!" It's 7pm, Saturday night at The Hines Center in Philpot. There's great entertainment, delicious food catered by Bee Bops of Owensboro and some AMAZING prizes up for grabs. At the "Ultimate Dirty Santa Party" there's one giant Christmas tree. 300 presents underneath it. And YOU competing to win the best prizes and avoiding the duds!! And all this fun is only TEN DOLLARS!
Every year it seems that Black Friday gets bigger and bigger. From the addition of Cyber Monday to stores starting sales on Thanksgiving day, it has taken a life of its own.
This got me wondering, what are your thoughts and habits for Black Friday shopping?
November 22, 2012 My family and I were sitting around talking the other night, planning Thanksgiving dinner, when we began to reminisce about Thanksgivings past. There are some good stories.
