The Olney Heritage Museum hosts well-known and beloved Olney artist Barbara Larimore on Dec. 8 for an exhibition centering on her vibrant European paintings and photography. The Museum will launch the exhibition, “Experiencing Europe,” with a reception that is open to the public from 12:00 p.m.-5:30 p.m. at 213 E. Main St. The exhibition of 22 paintings and six photographs from her travels will run through December.
The First Annual Jingle Bell Fun Run went off without a hitch on Nov. 27, with a gaggle of kids strapping on jingle bells to make the 1-mile jaunt down the brick streets of North Olney, courtesy of the Olney Chamber of Commerce. Afterward, the crowd moved to the Gazebo in downtown Olney for “the lighting of the largest Christmas tree on State Highway 114,” as well as photos with Santa, caroling, and kids’ dance performances in ballet, tap, and jazz. The event was sponsored by Olney Fuel & Supply/ Don’s Butane.
