Kentucky Museum to host Christmas in Kentucky

The Kentucky Museum will hold its annual Christmas in Kentucky event on Saturday, December 2nd from 11am to 2pm.

Following the Bowling Green Jaycee Christmas Parade, the Museum’s Christmas in Kentucky has become an annual tradition for many residents. The event is sponsored by Atmos Energy and ServiceOne Credit Union, with additional support provided by WNKY.

Christmas in Kentucky is a FREE family event and always incorporates the holiday spirit with the WKU spirit. Big Red will be weaving his own special brand of magic, while carols are sung by the amazing Treblemakers. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be hearing Christmas wishes, along with Mr. Magic  performing several shows, and a balloon twister whipping up fun creations. Gingerbread and hot cider will be served in the Felts log house next to the Museum. 

Children love the ornament making in the museum's beautiful Kentucky Room. A variety of activities are staffed by WKU Delta Zetas and the WKU Chemistry Club. In addition to all the holiday merry making, guests are welcome to tour the museum and see several new exhibits.
