December 2 - Highview Holiday Fest

Highview Holiday Fest

Highview Arts Center Presents - Yes, Virginia There is a Santa Claus

Yes Virgina

Two compelling stories come together in this heartwarming play inspired by the famous editorial Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus

On Christmas Eve, in New York City, eight-year-old Virginia is left pondering whether or not Santa really exists after a series of unhappy events.

Meanwhile, a young newspaper editor also struggles against tough holiday times as he is faced with losing his job if he can't find his writer's voice by morning.

Even though they don't know each other, the spirit of Christmas is about to bring these people together, creating in the process an unforgettable and cherished part of classic Christmas folklore.

MSD Flood Insurance Info

MSD

Did you know homeowner’s insurance does not cover flood damage?  MSD wants you to know that anyone in Louisville Metro can purchase flood insurance. Lenders require flood insurance for those inside the mapped floodplain. Those who live outside of these areas can still be at risk for flooding

More than 20-percent of all National Flood Insurance Program flood insurance claims are from areas outside the mapped high-risk areas. Just a few inches of water from a flood can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Protect yourself and your home by calling your insurance agent to learn more about flood insurance or by going to www.floodsmart.com


Free Leaf Drop-Off Sites

Mowing over leaves to mulch them back into your lawn is a great option for reducing waste. Mulching not only returns vital nutrients to the soil, but experts say that it can help your grass grow even better the following year.
