The Okolona Community Thanksgiving service will be held at Okolona Baptist Church on November 23rd starting at 7:30. This will be the 60th Anniversary of the longest continuous community Thanksgiving service in Louisville. Pies and fellowship will be enjoyed in the fellowship hall. Bring one if you can.
