On June 11, 2024, the people of Casey, Illinois gathered together inside the World's Largest Mailbox for a historic moment. The community sang, cheered and clapped along to the song "Casey Christmas." That magical holiday spirit was forever captured on vinyl!!
The recording is available on the album titled "Yuletidin' With You," which is a collection of 12 songs written and produced by Nashville, Tennessee award winning songwriters.
A giant replica of the album cover is now a permanent part of Casey's "Big Things in a Small Town" collection.
