❄️ Known throughout town as "Christmas Court" during the holiday season, the quiet little cul-de-sac tucked off North Main Street in Henderson, Colonial Court, transforms into a winter wonderland each year.

The six identical Colonial-style homes, each glowing with white icicle lights, create a picture-perfect scene and has become a must-see stop for Christmas light enthusiasts near and far for the last two decades.

Niagara Soap Company is bringing handmade craftsmanship and a little bit of chemistry to the Henderson community. Founded by Mark Andrews and his wife Jennifer, is a family-run venture that blossomed from a post-retirement hobby into a rewarding local business.

After 23 years teaching science and four years serving as athletic director at Henderson County High School, the transition made sense for Mark to step into this new role. Soap-making involves precision, patience, and a little bit of artistry, skills that Mark had been practicing throughout his career in the classroom.
