Christmas in July host and hostess Mitzi and Ricky Bault 2015-07-26 - Photo by Linda Waggener, CM. Mitzi and Ricky Bault received tons of gratitude for hosting the annual Waggener family Christmas in July at their home just off Fairground Street in Columbia this weekend. The event brought parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews cousins and friends from a wide region. With little ones whizzing in, out and around seniors and all ages in between, no one has yet to give a count on the numbers present over the two days, but Indiana, Kentucky and Panama have been well represented.
