Casar Neighbors Hold 27th Annual Christmas Caroling
A Casar community group of 41 carolers, led by Pat and Ken Jones, continues a 27 year tradition. Neighbors on Pruett Road travel in 10 cars sharing a progressive dinner and songs from porch to yard to spread Christmas cheer despite cold, rain, or snow. Judith Cook, age 87, enjoyed the night on her porch as Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer drew smiles from youths and adults alike.
