It's Not Christmas Without The Homewood Star

Crafted in 1951 by Douglass McConnell, this star has heralded the Christmas season every year since from high above the city of Homewood.  I'm a bit nostalgic about this star,  as I remember it fondly from my childhood and every Christmas since.  You might see it again before Christmas is over!

The Star of Homewood

For as long as I can remember this star at the top of "the hill" in downtown Homewood has been a tradtion throughout the Christmas season. This view, looking north towards Birmingham captures Vulcan pointing the way!
