Yesterday evening we watched the sunset over the Mighty Ohio River. It was a glorious evening & a magnificent sunset.  

We enjoyed it so much we’re going to gather at Limestone Landing every 3rd Friday of the month.   

The next 3rd Friday sunset gathering will be August 19th. Bring your chairs and poems about sunsets, if you wish. 

There may even be a game of “Simon Says”.

Below you will find a few pictures from Margaret’s Angel Tea.  

It is a holiday tradition that is filled with delicious food reminiscent of the popular tea rooms. 

The perfect atmosphere for visiting with friends during the holiday season! 

It was a wonderful time for relaxing during the hustle and bustle of the holidays.

Maysville Twilight Christmas parade  Friday, Dec. 3 beginning at 7 p.m. to officially start the holiday season downtown. A highlight of this year’s parade was the appearance of a Multitude of Angels, from some nearly 12 feet tall to others of more conventional heights. The heavenly hosts are the brainchild of professional mascot designer Jennifer Smith, the founder of Avant Garb, which makes mascot costumes. Smith is also the wife of Jim Dougans, minister at Maysville’s First Presbyterian Church.

Here’s one of the big angels we’re making for the Holiday parade in Maysville, KY, under the directions of  Jennifer Lee Smith .

Pet Blessing

This date draws its inspiration from World Animal Day on October 4. That date is also the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi.



Big things are happening in Maysville and Mason County Ky! We want to welcome Avant Garb Mascots & Costumes to Maysville and Mason County as the first small business in the First Presbyterian Church, Maysville, KY’s Entrepreneurial Incubator. Avant Garb is the premiere big mascot, costume and puppet manufacturer in the US with offices in Indianapolis as well.

JenniferQ Smith is the president of the National Mascot Association as well as on the executive committee for the Mascot Hall of Fame. Jennifer and Yingvild Poe work in the Maysville office.

Avant Garb has produced mascots for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Hewlett Packard and the majority of college and university sports programs, all after starting in a garage in Berkley Ca in 1986.  Check out their fantastic website at www.avantgarb.com.  The entrepreneurial spirit is thriving in Maysville and Mason County and we’re looking forward to additional entrepreneurs growing from the Presbyterian Church’s Entrepreneurial Incubator, a visionary program launched by Pastor Jim Dougans, with assistance from the Maysville-Mason County Area Chamber of Commerce and the Industrial Authority(MMCIDA). With three commercial/professional/business spaces remaining in the Church’s Educational Wing, we’re excited to see additional businesses thrive. Previously, the church has housed MCTC, The Downing Academy and several other startups.

Choir finally got to sing during worship service, June 20, 2021!!

The Older Youth Group of First Presbyterian Church opened April 25, 2021 gathering 

by writing messages of hope on the sidewalk in front of the church. 

The occasion? Chalk the Walk. 

The purpose? To raise awareness of sexual assault and spread sexual assault prevention messages.

Thanks to Dr. Craig Denham for sharing some of his Saturday morning visiting Kenton Pointe Assisted Living Community.  All enjoyed seeing him and Diego!

Dr. Denham went out and rode his mule around the building to share some time with the residents. Helped a dreary day.
