It Really is Christmas in July

As the yoga studio I take classes from is on Ogden’s “Historic 25th Street,” we often have close encounters with film crews that are using the old buildings. I believe that many scenes from the series “Yellowstone” with Kevin Costner were filmed on this street.

Today, with temperatures predicted in the mid 90’s, they are filming some Hallmark/Lifetime Channel/Christmas Chick Flick. I am sure it is along the lines of:

Young, beautiful, successful businesswoman from New York returns to her small, rural hometown for the holidays. Of course, she is single because she has just not connected on a cerebral level with anyone in New York. As it happens, she runs into the handsome high school jock that she had a crush on, but was too shy to ever initiate any conversation with. She soon learns , through the grapevine, that he was involved in a crippling combine accident several years ago on his family farm; losing one leg and 1/2 of his manhood. Ashamed, he has never recovered from the trauma, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH … HAHA I could write one of those …

Here is one of the backdrops they were getting ready at Union Station – they threw white sheets over the plants and started wheeling in Christmas trees and polar bears. I felt sorry for the crew, extras and actors as they were all huddled in a small amount of shade wearing high heeled boots and down jackets!
