Victorian Christmas in Brookville

I would much rather spend the day in a town like Brookville than in a shopping mall at Christmastime
(or anytime, really.)
Brookville had a Victorian Christmas celebration
this weekend. The folks there have done a
wonderful job revitalizing Main Street.
Look at the sidewalk in front of the 1890 building above:

The whole town was decorated.

There was even a yellow
John Deere tree in an
old fashioned soda fountain advertising
"Marshmellow [sic] Sundaes" on the sign out front.


After walking Main Street in Brookville, Morgan and I drove 3 miles to
Farmer Smith's Greenhouse. A young man working there saw me taking pictures of the ponsettias, and made us walk all the way down the greenhouse to show us this variety:




The strangest this we saw all day was a bear nativity.
I don't even know what to say . . .

God bless us every one!

Pam and I love to go to the shops in Brookville. We've been there many times in the summer and fall, and maybe once at Christmas time. Franklin PA is another quaint town to visit as well.
