Christmas in Columbia 2006: No. 1, Santa's Christmas Express 2006-12-09 - 2518 Allen Schoolhouse RD, Columbia, KY - Photo By Linda Waggener. Santa's Express was a focal point in front of the home of Mike and Rita Keltner in their First Place winning entry for Christmas in Columbia 2006. Above, aboard the Craftsman mower powered Santa's Express engine, are, Kristin Keltner, left, Sherica Burton, and the engineer, Brandon Keltner. Other scenes in the huge display are a lighted steamboat in a lake, reindeer, a nativity scene, and the brightly lighted trees and the house. In all, the Keltners have calculated that over one million lights illuminate the scene. The scene is located 14 miles from Columbia. The shortest may be Columbia to Christine, right at Christine to the Log Church, left at the Log Church onto Grassy Springs, and in a short distance, a right on Allen Schoolhouse Rd. Making a circle back to Columbia: Just continue Allen Schoolhouse road to Sano Road, make a right there, and then a right onto KY 80 to get back to town. A reverse of this trip has an added bonus, what may be the best night view of Lindsey Wilson, Begley Chapel, and Fugitte Science center; and, below, Columbia looking bigger than it is. Oh yes, above, the train actually goes. Read More... | Permalink | Comments?
