Christmas at Harpers Ferry Brightens Old Tyme Night
Despite a slim budget and a freezing night, crowds gathered Friday December 3 for Old Tyme Christmas in Harpers Ferry West Virginia. St Peter's Catholic Church atop the hill glowed with greenery and lit candles along the historic steps while a living Nativity scene unfolded at the base. Mrs Jack Fish lit the yule log and volunteers in period costumes handed out time messages to merchants as carolers filled the streets. Young Daniel Davis dressed for the occasion added to the festive scene amid the chill.
