You might want to see the display by the Brooksville Court House this month. The City of Brooksville invited any groups, churches, or organizations to participate in "A Christmas to the Community." In size, it should be about a sheet of plywood and a holiday message to the people of the area. Holy Trinity Lutheran Church has done so. Their message tells all that it is Jesus' birthday. It was designed by Bill Antolie, and artwork was done by Tracy Kuka. The display starts Dec. 8 until the end of the month.
