Events include photos with Santa sponsored by The Louisville Water Company at Gelato Gilberto, the Holiday Dog Walk and Pet Contest sponsored by Urban Village Vet Clinic and Crescent Hill Animal Hospital, as well as, the Best Holiday Window Display Contest (formerly known as the Golden Antler Award), and more!
A big part of what makes this day special is what each of the businesses do to participate. Some of our favorites from last year included writing letters to Santa at Kiddo, meet & greats with authors at Carmichael's Bookstore, the holiday sweater party at Pregame Coffee, enjoying gingersnap cookies and cider while shopping at 2023 Mid-Century Modern and tasting the dessert and cocktail specials at many of The Avenues restaurants and bars. We're looking forward to hearing what you will be doing this year to participate! Be sure to email Tori Crisp, tcrisp@prgrealestate.com or Kate Melican, katemelican@yahoo.com, and share your plans so they can be included in promotions.

Louisville, KY. – Whitehall is pleased to announce that it will be offering micro weddings on Friday, December 8, 2023. Couples who want to avoid the stress and expense of a large wedding may choose one of several time slots to be married in the historic mansion, which will be beautifully decorated for the season. The cost is $1,000 and will include an officiant to perform the ceremony; cake and sparkling cider; and a complimentary wedding portrait with the option to purchase additional photos. Up to 20 guests may attend. Couples may also choose to renew their vows. A limited number of time slots are still available. For more information, visit https://www.historicwhitehall.org/holiday-micro-weddings or call (502) 897-2944.
Proceeds from the Holiday Micro Weddings benefit Whitehall House & Gardens, a historic house owned and operated by the not-for-profit Historic Homes Foundation, Inc. Built in the mid-1850s and extensively renovated in 1909, Whitehall has been home to at least six different families, including the Chief Justice of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, Henry J. Stites (1816-91). At just under ten acres, Whitehall’s grounds and gardens represent a growing horticulture resource. A small arboretum features over 200 trees, including a rare specimen collection that has become an important source of propagation of interesting species. Whitehall’s Woodland Garden, a Victorian stumpery nestled in a wooded corner of the grounds, presents a regionally unprecedented collection of ferns and other woodland plants and is an official Display Garden of the Hardy Fern Foundation.

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!
Never blow leaves into the street! The street sweeping equipment is not built for collecting more than the leaves that naturally fall onto the street. The street sweeper will drive around those piles!
