On Dec. 5 Keep Olney Beautiful (K.O.B.) hosted its first annual Jingle and Mingle event. Due to Covid-19 this year, the usual Tour of Homes event was cancelled. In its place, K.O.B. decided to start a new, covid-friendly, event held outdoors. The event started at the Olney Country Club and participants and their families could walk down the road and enjoy the Christmas lights. Other activities included in this event were a hayride and photo booths. There were hot chocolate stands and the option to purchase miscellaneous treats and glow sticks as well.
