Joely Lepley, chair of the Fredericktown Christmas Walk committee, talked with WNZR’s Marcy Rinehart about her role in facilitating committee meetings and organizing everything leading up to the December 6th event, which always carries the theme “A Country Christmas.” 

She highlighted the many activities planned and emphasized that the walk benefits local families, with proceeds supporting several Fredericktown charities. 

Celebrating its 25th year, Joely says she can’t choose a favorite part of the event—she simply loves seeing the community come together and soak up the Christmas spirit. She offered a big thank-you to the committee, donors, and everyone who attends. 

The walk runs from 4 to 7 p.m. along Main Street, where visitors will also find the best parking options, and updates are available on their Facebook and Instagram pages. Her Christmas wish is for a happy, healthy holiday season for all.
