Lantern Light Cemetery Tour

Really? the tour is sold out?

The September 2015 edition of the Lantern Light Cemetery Tour is sold out!  Many apologies to those of you who saw it listed in the newspapers things to do this weekend. 

We have a couple of new characters this year. We have a portable microphone set up as well, so just in case it is a noisey night, we can all hear. 

We will bring bug spray and lanterns. Feel free to bring your own flash light if you like. 

The next tour is May 13 at Lebanon's Pioneer Cemetery.  Sign up now for May - put your name and phone number on a list. We will call you in April to confirm and get payment. Call us at 513-932-1817. 

Christmas is coming to Lebanon Ohio

This morning the air is crisp and cold, the sun is shining and the City of Lebanon's work crew is busy hanging Christmas wreaths from our street lights.

It's only November 14, but its just such a perfect day for working outside provided you are dressed warmly - and these guys know how to dress for the cold!

Three men and a lift truck make short work of the process of hanging a big wreath and a big red bow.
One man drives the truck, one rides the bucket up to the pole carrying the wreath and one climbs the ladder to help position the wreath properly.

Across the street a crew is hanging lights on the big Christmas tree in Christmas Tree Park.  There's a fountain in the center of the park draped with lights.  The water is turned off for the winter so the lights give the affect of water falling in the fountain.  It is always a pretty site here in the center of town with the fountain and the Christmas tree all covered in lights and ornaments.

Catty-cornered from the park is the venerable Golden Lamb Inn, the oldest continuously operating business in Ohio. The Lamb, as the locals call it, will be decked out for Christmas as will all the quaint little shop fronts up and down Broadway and Mulberry Streets.  We love Christmas in Lebanon, Ohio.
