Event put on by local teen tries to bring Christmas cheer to community.



The sound of Christmas carols being played and sang could be heard around the courthouse Thursday night at the first ever “Carols at the Courthouse.” It was organized by BCHS Junior Ellen Arnold. She said she was inspired to do something to make Christmas brighter in the community after reading the Christmas story in the Bible. The event featured traditional hymns being played along with passages being read from the Christmas story. Joy Ellen Arnold and Andrea Vincent performed the Spanish version of “Silent Night.” There was free hot chocolate and a place to donate canned goods or cash for local people in need.
