Spreading Christmas cheer through decorations 2017-11-30 - Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, columbiamagazine.com. Bank of Columbia staff members Teresa Rowe, left, teller, and Linda Bennett, at right, bookkeeper, hang a new wreath on the front door of the main bank on the square. Teresa said that Linda is the creator of all the decorations, and she also made the Christmas Card on the corner. A mystery gift was left at the back of the bank's Christmas Card, when closely examined it was a gift for anyone who passed by needing a warm scarf. In addition to the scarves, the clear plastic bag contained a note that said, "if you need one, take one." All around the square preparations are being made for the annual Christmas in Columbia celebration tomorrow, Dec. 2, 2017. It starts with the Rotary breakfast at the Columbia Baptist Church, goes into the historic courthouse for booths and foods, then to Santa's arrival at LWC and finally back downtown for the parade and lighting of the Christmas tree.
