Darren Doyle, story:
Local officials, county government offices, and area businesses got a special treat today from both South Edmonson Elementary and Kyrock Elementary Choirs as they performed Christmas music in the Edmonson County Community Center.

The SEES Bulldog Choir, led by Mrs. Jessica Doyle, and the Kyrock Blackhawk Choir, led by Mrs. Laura Ashley, both performed Christmas songs and carols with the two choirs combined in various Brownsville locations today.

Local officials spoke about how they all enjoyed the performance.

"It was just a great job all the way around," said County Clerk Kevin Alexander. "These kids should be recognized for such a great job. It brought joy to the Community Center."

County Judge/Executive Scott Lindsey said the kids coming to sing is always a highlight to the holiday season.

"We loved having the Bulldog Choir and the Blackhawk Choir sing for us today," he said. "They definitely brought a little of the Christmas spirit with them. It was truly a blessing and we appreciate them so much for stopping by and singing for us."

County PVA Kyle White said the kids did a wonderful job.

"I'm so proud of the practice time and dedication the kids put in," he added. " They are a talented group and their carols warmed our hearts."

Mrs. Jessica Doyle said today was a first, with the combination of the SEES and Kyrock Choirs.

"The smiles on the faces of everyone made it all worth it," she said. "The students were especially touched by singing to the residents at the nursing home."

In addition to the Community Center, the kids also made stops at Bank of Edmonson County, The Edmonson Center nursing home facility, the EC Board of Education, Cee Bee Food Store, all the other local schools, McReynolds Physical Therapy, and R&R Heating and Air Conditioning.

The kids performed a mix of standard Christmas songs and carols.

There will be a free countywide Christmas Choir concert on Thursday, December 19th at 6PM in the ECHS auditorium.

Currently, all local schools in the county have choirs and will perform Thursday night.
