Published: December 1, 2000
King's Daughters Hospital's "Old Fashioned Christmas and Village Lighting," brought those present a charming taste of holiday spirit Thursday.The 11th annual event was held on the hospital's front lawn under a clear sky with cool temperatures in the air and drew a crowd of nearly 600 people."This village is a product of several years of growth and it's enjoyed by so many throughout the Christmas season," said Tucker Bonner, president of King's Daughters.Holly Sanders of Temple said she is a big supporter of the event."I've started coming more often in the last few years because it makes it feel a little bit more like Christmas," Ms. Sanders said."It is so small and quaint and the atmosphere makes you feel comfortable," she said.Musical entertainment was kicked off by First Baptist Church of Temple's adult handbell choir. Their musical selection included "White Christmas," "Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem," and "A Carol for All Seasons." In addition, the church's children's choir, the Music Makers, sang a medley of songs such as "Jingle Bells," "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer," and "Christmas is Coming." by Tamika Terry
