Hough named acting Beach police chief Linda Farneth The Colonial Beach Town Council has named Capt. Bruce Hough as the acting chief of police for a maximum of 90 days. The council made the decision Jan. 2, two weeks after Elizabeth Legg resigned after just nine months on the job. Hough, who joined the
department in December 2012 after he retired from a 21-year career as an FBI special agent, had been in charge of investigations for the Colonial Beach police. Hough said although he expressed interest in the position, he still was a little surprised to be picked. He said he has not decided whether he will apply for the job permanently. “I’m proud for the consideration
and appointment of acting chief and look forward to continue serving the town of Colonial Beach,” he said. The council spent four hours Hough deliberating in a closed-door session before
approving the resignation of Legg and appointing Hough. Mayor Mike Ham said while all the candidates had strong qualifications, Hough’s background with the FBI, his strong relationship with the Westmoreland County Sheriff ’s office and his belief in community policing were the deciding factors that earned him the appointment.
Legg left to take a position with the Buena Vista Police Department. Details of her separation agreement have not yet been made public. She made history in March when she became the town’s first female chief of police. She beat out more than 30 applicants for the job, including Interim Police Chief William Seay. She was a former police chief at Ferrum College with more
first day hikes full of fun, finds Richard Leggitt Visitors to Westmoreland State Park, near Montross, and Caledon State Park, near Dahlgren, took advantage of sunshine and seasonable temperatures and literally took a hike New Year’s Day. The hikes at the two state parks were part of the statewide Virginia State Parks First Day Hike events. There were hikes, contests and special events at 36 state parks across the state encouraging people to get outdoors and enjoy the first day of the New Year. At Westmoreland, hikers followed the scenic and wooded half-mile-long Big Meadows Trail down to the Potomac River to search for fossils along the river’s shoreline, an area that has been the site of a great many exciting fossil discoveries. At Caledon, more than 100 parents and children showed up to participate in the Christmas Possum’s Present Hunt, a variation of an Easter egg hunt with Christmas ornaments hidden in fields and along the park’s trails. “The First Day Hike kicks off our programs for the year,” said Westmoreland State Park Assistant Manager Steve Davis. “It gives people a reason to come to the park and see that even in the winter time, we have things going on.” Davis showed the Westmoreland hikers a 3-inch long shark’s tooth he said was found in the park by a worker several decades ago. “They say a tooth of this size would have belonged to a 50- or 60-foot shark,” Davis said. The Potomac shoreline near Westmoreland has been the site of a number exciting fossil finds. In addition to shark’s teeth, crocodile and whale teeth have been discovered along with manatee teeth and fossils from dolphins and clams. Built in 1936, Westmoreland is one of the oldest state parks in Virginia. It covers 1,311 acres in Westmoreland County along the river between George Washington’s birthplace and historic Stratford Hall, the home of the Lee family of Virginia.

The 2,584-acre park is home to one of the largest populations of eagles in the nation and offers unique viewing opportunities for the majestic birds that are the symbol of America.
It was ornaments, not Eagles that were on the minds of Caledon hiker’s New Year’s Day. Park Naturalist Sarah Bachman told hikers the Christmas Possum had hidden ornaments around the park and prizes and awards would be given to those who found them.
Bachman said park activities like the First Day Hike are a treat not only for visitors but for the park staff. “I know I get a great deal of joy out of it,” Bachman said. “I love working with kids and I love working outside. It’s great.”
Courthouse Square in store for big makeover Richard Leggitt With the opening of the new $9 million Westmoreland Judicial Center last year and the remodeling of the county’s George English Memorial Building, Westmoreland Registrar Kristin Hicks is the only remaining county official with offices at Courthouse Square. Westmoreland County Sheriff C.O. Balderson, as well as the court clerks and judges housed in the old courthouse have moved into new offices at the judicial center on Polk Street. Commonwealth’s Attorney Julia Sicol and her staff also have moved from the English Building to the judicial center. The English building is being remodeled into new offices for the county’s administrative staff and the Westmoreland Board of Supervisors. So, the board of supervisors, working with the Town of Montross’ revitalization effort, is making plans for the property around the old Westmoreland County Courthouse to be redesigned for other uses.
than 20 years experience in law enforcement with the Roanoke Police Department. Legg was Roanoke’s first female lieutenant. She served as police chief at Ferrum College for four and a half years. Legg has not replied to several attempts to obtain comments on why she resigned, but she said in her letter that the job had been extremely challenging and eventful.
“It’s all good,” said Tony Nelson, who along with his wife Becky, owns Eagles’ Catch Antiques on Courthouse Square. “A lot of visible changes are occurring and people are excited. This is our county seat. Let’s spruce it up and make it something we can be proud of.” Already the former sheriff ’s office has been demolished. That area is being landscaped and will be outfitted with benches and public bathrooms. There also willl be a grassy open space area. An adjoining parking area between the old sheriff ’s office and the Montross Library will be resurfaced and will be made available for a future expansion of the Montross Library. The historic Stuart Building, which is between the old sheriff ’s office and the registrar’s office, also is a candidate for redesign.
“Nothing concrete has been decided,” said Assistant County Administrator Karen Lewis. “There have been some ideas kicked around, but no decision has been made.” A portion of the historic old courthouse is being given to the Westmoreland County Museum, which already has two other properties on Courthouse Square, its headquarters and the nearby Wakefield Building. The museum will use part of the old courthouse for exhibits and meetings. Lewis said a visitor’s center and an artisan’s workshop located at the old courthouse are among other ideas for the property being considered. Some facelifts of buildings on Courthouse Square already have been completed as part of the Montross revitalization program. Angelo’s Restaurant, the Carrot Cottage, Eagles Catch Antiques and the Wakefield Building, which was an old furniture store, already have new looks. The historic Jemeka Building, next door to Angelo’s, also is scheduled for a facelift.

Westmoreland County and the Town of Montross are working to redesign portions of the square surrounding the old courthouse in Montross to make it more visitor friendly. The old courthouse building, above, will become part of the Westmoreland Museum.

Montross Mayor R. David O’Dell Jr. died New Year’s Eve after a sixweek illness. The long-time mayor, who was the former owner of the former Montross Blue and Gray Food Store, was 71. “We are really going to miss him,” said Montross Town Manager Brenda Reamy. He loved Montross.” O’Dell had served as O’Dell Jr. Montross mayor since his election in 1999. He had been a member of the Montross Town Council for 35 years. He will be succeeded, at least temporarily, by Montross Vice-Mayor Joey King. O’Dell was known for his short town meetings, his quick wit and an avid love of fishing. Funeral services were held Jan. 5 at St. James Episcopal Church in Montross, where O’Dell served on the vestry. Interment followed in the church cemetery. Reamy said O’Dell “was very exact, very straight-forward. He said what he thought, and he was a good man to work for.” She said O’Dell was one of the primary leaders in the effort to build the new Montross Town Hall. “He was kind of the unofficial building inspector,” she said. O’Dell served 12 years as a member of the Montross-Westmoreland Sewer Authority and was an active supporter of the Westmoreland Volunteer Fire Department and the Montross Rescue Squad. “He recognized the good work they did,” Reamy said. O’Dell, who was born July 25, 1943 in nearby Warsaw, is survived by his wife of 46 years, Frances Lehman O’Dell, as well as his sons, John David O’Dell and Richard Ryan O’Dell, as well as four grandchildren. The O’Dell family asked that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to the Westmoreland Volunteer Fire Department, the Montross Volunteer Rescue Squad or St. James Episcopal Church.

Three Kings Day celebration steeped in tradition, mystery
Area food banks, pantries aided by Community Bank’s program The spirit of giving was in the air this holiday season as representatives from the Southern Maryland Food Bank accepted a donation and over 500 pounds of food from Community Bank of the Chesapeake. The presentation marked the end of the Bank’s Holiday Food & Toy drive, an annual event that supports local nonprofit organizations throughout its service area. Community Bank’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Bill Pasenelli, expressed his thanks to the many customers and community members who donated to the drive. “This drive is a testament to the generosity of the communities we serve,” said Pasenelli said. “At this time of year, we are especially reminded about the importance of giving back. We feel extremely fortunate to live and work in communities that are so committed to helping those in need.”
This year’s Food and Toy Drive ran from November 12 to December 12. All Community Bank of the Chesapeake branches served as donation sites for customers and members of the community to drop off new toys and nonperishable food items. A total of 274 toys were donated to the Marine Corps Reserve’s Toys for Tots programs in Southern Maryland, King George and Fredericksburg. Food donations benefitted the Southern Maryland Food Bank, the King George Food Pantry and the Fredericksburg Area Food Bank. Headquartered in Waldorf, Maryland, Community Bank of the Chesapeake is a full-service commercial bank, with assets over $1 billion. Through its 12 banking centers and four dedicated commercial lending centers, Community Bank of the Chesapeake offers a broad range of financial products and services to individuals
and businesses. Community Bank of the Chesapeake is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Community Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: TCFC). More information about Community Bank of the Chesapeake can be found at www.cbtc.com.
Christmas celebrants realize the holiday season does not end Dec. 26 or even Jan. 2. For many people, Christmas and New Year’s Eve are merely a prelude to the real celebration to come on Three Kings Day. Three Kings Day, or Día de los Très Reyes, is celebrated Jan. 6 to honor the wise men who visited and brought gifts to Jesus Christ. Also known as the Epiphany, the holiday marks the end of the Christmas season for many practicing Christians. Very little is known about the kings, or magi. These kings, who are only mentioned once in the Gospel of Matthew, are never named. The story says they hail from the “east” and are guided to the manger by a mysterious light in the sky. They begin a journey to bring gold, frankincense and myrrh to the newborn king. Unbeknownst to many, the popular song “The 12 Days of Christmas” actually marks the 12 days following Christmas, ending on the Feast of the Epiphany, and not the 12 days preceding Christmas Day. Many traditions are associated with the Epiphany. Celebrants in Mexico serve Rosca de Reyes, an oval-shaped cake that symbolizes a crown. The cake has a small doll inside that represents baby Jesus and the hiding of Jesus from King Herod’s troops. Herod ordered his soldiers to seek out and murder all male infants born in Bethlehem in retaliation of the prophecy that a messiah would come and become the new King of Jerusalem. Roscas can be made with dried and candied fruits to symbolize the jewels that adorn real crowns. Whoever receives the
SUDOKU
plastic doll in his or her slice of cake is expected to throw a party on Diá de la Candelaria (Candlemas Day), which occurs Feb. 2. Unlike in the United States, where gifts are typically exchanged on Christmas Day, much of the Latin community exchange gifts on the eve of Jan. 6. Puerto Rican children have been known to gather grass or straw in shoeboxes for the kings’ horses or camels. Some families

Waste Management’s KGC Landfill recognized for onsite wildlife habitat program
Waste Management’s King George County Landfill was honored at the Wildlife Habitat Council’s 26th Annual Symposium for its achievements in protecting and enhancing wildlife habitat. The facility earned recertification of its Wildlife at Work program, which was designed by the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC) to provide a structure for cooperative efforts between management, employees and community members to create, conserve and restore wildlife habitats. The local effort is part of a national Waste Management program that protects animal and plant species on more than 26,000 acres across North America, representing an important contribution to the company’s goal of 100 certifications by 2020. The Waste Management, King George County Landfill is located on 685 acres in a predominantly agricultural and residential area, west of Fredericksburg, VA. Approximately 200 acres are actively maintained for wildlife, including grasslands, wetlands and ponds. Ten employees are involved in habitat enhancement projects on-site. Their Wildlife at Work program has been certified since 2009. In 2012, 10 additional acres were seeded. The meadow is frequently monitored by employees for evidence of wildlife. Two pollinator gardens provide bees, hummingbirds and butterflies with habitat. The King George County Landfill wildlife team is dedicated to working with the local community and providing educational opportunities. The team has collaborated with the local elementary schools. The students take field trips to the site to learn about wildlife and recycling. The team, as partnered with the local Audubon Society, conducts an annual Christmas Bird Count to monitor the number of bald eagles and other birds found on the site. “Waste Management began working with WHC because our employees understand that biodiversity and preservation of wildlife are important to the environment and sustainability,” said Waste Management President and CEO David Steiner. “Beyond helping to provide quality habitat for plants and animals, we believe these efforts are helping to create a more sustainable future for everyone.” Waste Management has been working with WHC since 2000. In 2008, the company was the first recipient of the organization’s William W. Howard CEO Award, recognizing the company’s efforts in conservation, education and outreach efforts.

The Foxes were led by Kolin Johnson (126 pounds, 3-0), Austin Carson (152 pounds, 3-1), and Kyle Kraisser (160 pounds, 3-0). As a team, the Foxes ran the table on the field of seven opposing team as they posted 191 points for the win. Just four days before Christmas in 2004, Sgt. Nicholas Conan Mason, a 20-year-old member of the Army National Guard, was killed near Mosul, Iraq when a bomb was tossed into a tent. Nick Mason was a member of the 276th Army Engineering Company. Thrilled with the turnout, and team competition, Nick Mason’s father and King George County Clerk, Charles “Vic� Mason said: “The tournament means a lot to the Mason family, and the community — and it means a lot see each and every one of you to come out.� As each team stood, shoulder to shoulder and received tournament mementos from Mason, a feeling of patriotism and pride clearly was evident on each of the athlete’s faces as they saluted the flag. “The one thing I can tell you is that wrestling is like life, ‘you take every opportunity that you have, don’t waste opportunities, and simply count your blessings that you have, because you’re blessed to be hear,’ � Mason said. Team results included: 1. King George (first victory; two times runners up); 2. Chancellor, 175.5; 3. Bishop Ireton, 159; 4. Riverbend, 128.5; 5. Westlake, 112; 6. Fluvanna, 99; 7. Lancaster, 83; 8. Washington & Lee, 67.5.

’95 Foxes’ football squad one for the books Team finished just short of a perfect season, state title Leonard Banks
M
Sports Editor
ore than 19 years ago, the mere mention of King George High School football electrified the atmosphere around the gateway to the Northern Neck. Names such as the legendary John and Jonathan Parker, Freddy Brooks, Joe Shanklin, Ralph Stephani, Jason Cox, Roger Pierce, Brad Allen, John Sawdy and a host of other notable players graced the households, barber shops and Hunter Field bleachers. Stephani, also the captain of the team, has vivid memories of winning 13 games in a row, as well as the heart-breaking reality of losing to Graham in the VHSL State Group AA Division 3 Championship game. “The success we had in 1995 started back in 1994, when coach Roger Pierce arrived,� Stephani said. “Prior to Pierce coming in, we didn’t believe we could do anything, and most importantly, we didn’t believe in each other.� After assessing the program, Pierce made changes to the program’s feeder system by temporarily eliminating the development program and focusing on the varsity team. Along with changing the mindset of a team that had been caught up in a pattern of losing seasons, his practices were more relentless. “We had to work hard every single day at practice, and give it every single thing we had,� Stephani said. “We had over 20 players on the team, and we didn’t take any play off.� From the moment the Foxes laced up their cleats, the difference was immediately noticeable. It was a new day and era and for the next 13 weeks of the regular season, the only thing the Foxes new were how to win. “Roger Pierce instilled the belief that we could win if we worked hard in practice — and we could not be beaten,� Stephani said. During the 1994 season, the Foxes posted an 8-2 record and just missed

a post-season berth by one game. However, during the 1995 season, the Foxes ran the table by winning both the district and regional championships. After beating Matoaca, the Foxes won the right to host Graham in the coveted state title game. “The 1995 Fox team were truly special guys that made big plays throughout the year to help us get to that point,� Pierce said. As fate would have it, the Foxes and G-Men (12-2) fought down to the final minutes before Graham won its third state title in six years, 23-18. Graham had held the Foxes to its lowest point total of the season. Up to that point, the smaller and more athletic Foxes had not scored fewer than 26 points that season. G-Men senior running back
Brandon Banks had trudged 195 rushing and scored three touchdowns out of a field covered with mud for the victors. Although the Foxes returned with a blemish on an otherwise flawless record, they were greeted with cheers and a seemingly endless round of accolades from a packed crowd of faithful fans that patiently waited for them in the high school cafeteria. After witnessing his team rise from an 0-10 1993 season to nearly winning a state championship, Stephani continues to instill the importance of pride in today’s generation of football players. As an assistant junior varsity coach and current member of the Fredericksburg Bears semi-pro football team, he continues to perpetuate the values of hard work and gridiron pride.

Outdoors Report Mark and Missy Fike With cold weather hitting our region, duck hunters are hopeful the arctic air will freeze out ducks from north of us and shove them south to our region. It is no secret duck hunting this year has been poor. Ruddy ducks and buffleheads are the main course right now, but they are not considered by many to be fine table fare. Goose hunters are getting in a few volleys of shots here and there. Lower southern Maryland, near Allen’s Fresh, has a large number of geese hanging out. Deer hunting is over now and the season’s data is not yet available. However, anecdotal reports put the harvest down noticeably from last year. Squirrel and rabbit hunting reportedly is very good in certain locations. Scout out your spot before you go. Fishing

Youth deer hunt a success Wilks assigned each parent and youth hunter a mentor to serve as their guide for the day. Just before day break, the group headed out in a light rain to find double ladder stands or pop up blinds. The light rain continued off and on under dreary skies, but the youth held on to hope that a buck might present itself for an ethical shot. Wilks gathered the group on a makeshift range after lunch and explained the rules of a shooting competition. Only one slug was to be shot by each youth at a target 50 yards away. The circle on the target was a few inches in diameter. Some of the youth were
Mark Fike
Rick Wilks, local hunting education instructor for the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, had a youth deer hunt Dec. 29 at Moss Neck Plantation in Caroline County. Guides, parents and youth showed up at the property at 5 a.m. to be briefed on the events of the day, spend time getting to know one another and tell hunting stories. The youth that showed up included several from our region. A few had managed to bag a deer prior to the hunt, but overall they were inexperienced deer hunters.

shooting scoped slug guns and some had rifle sights. A few only had smoothbores and a bead to aim with at the target. Each youth came to the firing line and took their time trying to place one wellaimed shot into the bulls eye. After each shot, the shooter and Wilks walked down to the target and inspected it. When the smoke cleared, King George’s JT Karle, had placed a slug inside the bulls eye with only a smooth bore shotgun and a pair of beads. For his feat, he was awarded an Outdoor Edge knife set. The National Wild Turkey Federation helped sponsor the hunt and offered each
youth a membership to the organization. The Friends of NRA donated blaze orange hats with their logo on them. At about 3 p.m., the cadre of hunters headed into the woods to await any bucks that might come in range. Alas, not one deer was seen by anyone when the darkness finally crept arived. However, the youth still were grateful for the opportunity. I’ve always said, “If you got a deer every time you went afield, it would not be hunting; it would be gathering.� It appears the youth took the lack of deer in stride. Several were heard saying they hoped they could get back out again before the season ended.
Rappahannock River: Crappie fishing is good when you fish tight to structure with minnows or grub baits moving slow. Potomac River:The main river is a good place to go with fresh cut bait if you are looking for a trophy, go after blue catfish. Fish ledges and deep holes near a structure for best results. Creek mouths or river tributary mouths also are good places to try. Inland waters: Old Cossey Pond in Fredericksburg is giving up some stocked trout in bright-colored trout lures, such as the Trout Magnet, Powerbait and flashy spinners. Fish low-light periods or cloudy days for the best bite. High Point Marina at Lake Anna reports fishing has picked up some. Striper anglers are finding fish from the Route 208 bridge to The Splits. Jig Toothache spoons, suspending jerkbaits and RatLTraps. Crappie are hitting in 12 to 15 feet of water around bridge abutments. Use small minnows or tube jigs. Largemouth are now being found near the striper feeding on herring and shad. Alabama rigs, drop shot rigs, shakey head worms, and jerkbaits will catch bass now. Local ponds were being fished Jan. 4 due to the warm weather. Most anglers likely were targeting crappie or bass. Minnow buckets were observed in boats. Saltwater: Capt. Ryan Rogers reports his customers were catching rockfish from 18 to 30 inches until the last day of the bay season, which was Dec. 31. The only striped bass season now is the ocean one. Reports from the Virginia Beach area show the fish are not located in legal fishing waters right now. Hopefully this will change and the fishing will pick up.

This Victorian sideboard was part of an inheritance from a family on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The wood is walnut, and the doors are burled. The marble top is in excellent condition, and the secondary wood is poplar. The piece survived Hurricane Isabel, which destroyed the Henry Lane house in which Hull it was located. The sideboard never had a splashboard or upper section; consequently the marble has no holes in it from a previous superstructure. The brass hardware is original.
Victorian furniture is down at present, but purposeful pieces such as this sideboard remain popular. The tone of the wood indicates some fading, or perhaps it is water damage from the hurricane. A decade ago this piece would have brought $600 to $700 at auction, but today it possibly would go for $450 to $500. A similar piece with solid, rather than paneled, ends would be a third higher in value. As to origin, the style and use of the marble indicates mid-Atlantic or Southern. The rounded arches at the top of the doors are indicative of the Romanesque Revival style that complemented the Gothic Revival of the nineteenth century. This piece dates from the 1850s, and is a good example of its period and its genre. The Victorian era in America was a time for opulence and flamboy-
ance in all matters relative to design. Compared with other furnishings of the time, this piece is remarkably simple in design. Tastes change over time, and one day the Victorian Period will return to a position befitting its former luster. The change in popularity comes in part from the change in lifestyle inasmuch as ornate, delicate furniture is not conducive to modern living. Because this sideboard is highly serviceable, it likely should remain popular, and not be difficult to sell should the family decide to part with it.

Potomac Renaissance condos set to open Richard Leggitt
Richard Leggitt
The second building of the new Renaissance Condominiums is expected to be completed this spring. The new 24-unit building on the Potomac River will join an adjacent 28-unit building to become one of the largest housing complexes in Westmoreland County.
The new Potomac Renaissance Condominiums being constructed on Irving Street near the Potomac River in Colonial Beach is scheduled for completion within the next two months depending on the weather. “We have finished interiors of the condos, now we just have to do some exterior work and the completion of the commercial space,” said builder Tommy Thompson of Thompson Construction in Alexandria. The long-planned second phase of the condominiums in Colonial Beach will contain space for a half-dozen commercial businesses, as well as 24 two-bedroom luxury condos. An adjoining 28-unit phase of the luxury condos along the Potomac River waterfront was constructed in
2006 on Taylor Street and includes two- and three-bedroom units along with first-floor commercial space. Northern Virginia businessman Carlton Phillips bought the Taylor Street project last year and immediately launched plans for a second five-story building. When completed this spring, the two buildings will have 52 units and will be one of the largest housing developments in the area Phillips, who owns the Prince William Marina in Woodbridge, has been hands on with the second phase
First Night Fredericksburg rings in 2015 Event smaller than in the past, but still packed with fun
of the project, which was started in 2014. The new building, much like the first building, will feature an owner’s suite with a luxury bath, available garage space and fully equipped kitchens with granite counter tops, dishwasher, range and microwave. Also like the first building on Taylor Street, the new building on Irving Street will have an elevator and stairs and will feature high-speed Internet and cable connections. Both buildings have balconies that overlook either the Potomac River or the town of Colonial Beach. A block from the Potomac River waterfront, the buildings provide easy access to the Colonial Beach boardwalk and the river, as well as the many restaurants and shops nearby.
Colonial Beach police to open new lobby The Colonial Beach Police Department will be expanding into the space previously occupied by the town’s building and zoning office. The new space will serve as a lobby area where visitors will be greeted by the department’s administrative assistant, Bertha Peyton. Currently,visitorsmustenterinto a small room and pick up a phone to reach dispatch in Westmoreland County for emergencies or talk on an intercom to reach someone in the town’s police department for non-emergency situations.

Marty van Duyne News Net News FREDERICKSBURG — Revelers found some new attractions and a reconfigured venue when they rang in 2015 at the annual familyfriendly Fredericksburg First Night. The Old Towne event traditionally centered on several blocks of Caroline and Sophia streets and some side streets, but in 2014 organizers contained the event to a smaller area. For 2015, with the exception of the Hillbilly Mayhem Monster Truck in the Sophia St. Municipal Parking Lot and two musical acts at the Courtyard Marriott, the venue was further condensed to a threeblock section of Sophia Street and Riverfront Park. Island Gerry and Karen Jonas performed at the Marriott while Don Brown’s Soul Experience Band and I & I Riddim played in the Union Bank Tent on Sophia Street. Riverfront Park Main Stage featured Ashley Chevalier, McTell Brothers, and Emma Zinck. Steve Jarrell finished off the evening musical entertainment and helped ring in the New Year. Kids entertainment in the So Wise Co. Tent featured Monkey Man Variety Show and Brad Matchet Comedy Hypnosis Show. The Riverfront Park Parking Lot tent featured face painting by Evolving Art Machine and Princesses Anna & Elsa. For 2015 a traditional carousel, an auto carousel, and a moon bounce joined the razzle dazzle gyroscope in the Sophia Street lot adjacent to the kids globe, which dropped at 9 p.m. Food vendors were located next to Shiloh Church with a dining tent located near the back of their parking lot. The year ended with a globe drop and fireworks in Riverfront Park to welcome in 2015.
