National Championship

NCAA® Division I Men’s & Women’s Cross Country National Championships Each autumn, since 1938 for men and 1981 for women, the National Collegiate Athletic Association has sponsored college-level national crosscountry championships, though this is the first time they will be held here in Kentucky. The University of Louisville will be host to the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships at E.P. ‘Tom’ Sawyer State Park, bringing a new type of high-level athleticism to a city known more for basketball than for running. This championship event is a highlight of the racing season for most, and will bring in top collegiate runners from across the country. Teams and individual runners qualify for the championship at regional competitions roughly a week before nationals, with 31 teams and 38 individual runners making the cut. The race distance is 6,000 meters (3.7 miles) for women and 10,000 meters (6.2

miles) for men, and will feature racing powerhouses from elite programs. The NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships, for the first time since World War II, will be held on a Saturday, taking place at ‘Tom’ Sawyer State Park on Nov. 17. It’s the 75th annual men's competition and the 33rd annual women's competition. Four Pre-Nationals races will lead up to the event. The top runners will receive prizes such as athletic gear, and will also be provided with refreshments.

Best Christmas Pagant Ever!

“The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!” Now lying, stealing, and cheating their way onto the stage, the worst kids in the world are back for Stage One’s annual holiday classic, “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!” When the Herdman children attend church for the first time, it’s because they’ve heard that there will be free snacks. Now they’ve bullied their way into being the stars of what was once a very traditional pageant, however, and are about to turn the whole production upside down! While the town watches what they expect to be the worst Christmas pageant ever, the least likely kids to ever grace a nativity scene show everyone what the true meaning of the season is about.

“The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!” is raucous and heartwarming fun for the whole family—regardless of whether that family leans towards the Herdman’s style of living or not. It’s a perfect opportunity to book a student matinee field trip, or to go with family or friends. Weekend public performances will be held November 24, December 8, and December 15 at 2 and 5 pm; the December 20 performances will be held at 10 am and noon. Performances are at the Kentucky Center, Bomhard Theater. Tickets run $19.75 per person, with group and military discounts available.

Locust Grove

Locust Grove Holiday Sampler As the only residence still in existence west of the Appalachian Mountains to have sheltered Lewis and Clark, Historic Locust Grove is one of Kentucky’s finest monuments to history. The day after Thanksgiving, it will be open for an opportunity to explore the region’s heritage, both material and intangible. On November 23, Locust Grove will operate during their regular working hours, 10 am-4:30 pm. Costumed demonstrators will be in the kitchen and woodshop for the majority of the day, in order to recreate a faithful impression of what life would have been like on the original plantation. Additionally, the museum store will be offering a 20% discount on all items in order to start the holiday season out right.

While shopping for the holidays, visitors can get a sense of Kentucky’s grand history. The home is a National Historic Landmark on 55 acres of the original 1790s farm, which has been host to not only Lewis and Clark, but also three US presidents: Monroe, Jackson, and Taylor. The famous Stephen Bishop, a slave, used Locust Grove as his base of operations for creating the most complete and accurate map of the period until modern survey techniques were applied in 1908. Even better, all this history is included in the regular admissions price—$8 for general admission, $4 for children aged 6-12, and free for children under 6 and members.
