Good Ole Boys bring living nativity to the Circle
The candles were lit, the carols were sung and a large crowd celebrated the true meaning of Christmas on the Georgetown Circle Dec. 21.
The annual Good Ole Boys Foundation’s living nativity brought the community together for a candlelight service on a chilly night.
K.C. Conaway emceed the event and offered prayers for the holiday season. Pastor Leon Powell of Dagsboro Church of God, also offered testimonials.
Musicians from the Dagsboro church performed traditional Christmas songs for the carol sing-along.
This was the seventh year the Good Old Boys set up the living nativity in the Circle. It debuted in 2019, a direct response to the removal of a lighted nativity that had been set up in the Circle for years by Georgetown Wesleyan Church.
Georgetown passed an ordinance prohibiting unattended private displays on public property. The Good Ole Boys Foundation, based in Millsboro, created the living nativity to continue the Christmas tradition.
