Rosemary Clooney's House

I took the kids down to Augusta, Ky to see Rosemary Clooney's house and the White Christmas parade. I am sure I was more excited than they were! When we got to the house it was crowded and didn't take long for me to realize that they had an event going on. They were unveiling some new museum pieces, costumes from "Mandy". We also got to meet Heather French Henry (Miss America 2000), Lee Meriwether ( Miss America 1955 and Cat Woman), and George Chakiris (dancer in White Christmas and West Side Story). Heather was wearing her Miss America crown ring and yes it is as gorgeous on as it looks on TV. After the museum we walked down by the river and around town to the general store where we had dinner. It was really good home cooking. Just a couple of ladies in the kitchen. While we were there Lee and George came in to eat and sign the wall. It has been signed by a handful of famous people including Rosemary and George Clooney. I love small towns! We then went out to wait for the parade to start. It was so cold, and it started late. Once it got rolling it was a good time. I wish I could have taken more pictures of the parade, but it was dark and they were passing only about 3 feet in front of us!
