  1. December 6,7&8th “cradle to the cross” a live drive thru of the story of Christ from birth to death. In Covington at New Zion Baptist Church
    Info here: http://www.newzion.net/mobile/multipagelvl2.php?ID=9199

  2. All the taxes we pay in st Tammany parish you would think they could put aside some money for Christmas lights at the trailhead on Koop dr. Shame on the president of this parish .Maybe if they went to a few less lunches the kids could of seen some light displays this year
    Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!!!!!

  3. I thought I saw on here a local dance studio performing The Nutcracker this year. Was I dreaming this?
