Living Nativity at Cumberland Presbyterian Church, 12/19

It is the season to be jolly, and Christmas is in the air around Olney. It is easy to fall into the Holiday spirit with events such as the Olney Chamber’s Mistletoe Market and the Keep Olney Beautiful Christmas Spectacular. However, Christmas in Olney would not be Christmas without Cumberland Presbyterian Church’s Living Nativity Sunday, Dec. 19, beginning at 6 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. at the south side of the building located at 210 S. Avenue M and Cactus Lane. You may drive by or park and view for free.

The Refuge’s 2nd Turkey Trot

The Olney Christian Community Center/Refuge and Keep Olney Beautiful partnered to host the second Annual Turkey Trot on Nov. 13. The Refuge hosts this event to help raise funds for Keep Olney Beautiful and bring a fun activity to Olney for the entire family to enjoy. This year we were able to donate $712.00 to Keep Olney Beautiful. Sixty-four participants trotted this year, almost double that of last year. Each participant had the choice to sign up for the 5k or do a 1-mile color fun run!
