Bruce Badger and 18 horse riders plus carolers in a pickup truck toured Slippery Rock Township around 3 p.m. joining the West Keystone Cowboys for Christ in a 12th annual Christmas tradition. They sang Joy to the World Silent Night and Go Tell It on the Mountain as bells and garlands glittered, beginning and ending at the old Princeton School and drawing local residents like Susan Kanary and her daughter Nicole into the festive moment.
