As much as I like this festival I can’t figure out how it sneaks up on me every year. If you are anywhere close to Rock Hill this weekend you should make an effort to check out what this special event is all about. This year there are over 70 different activities for folks of all ages. There are traditional favorites like the horse drawn carriage rides, the holiday market place, strolling carolers, outdoor art displays, and the Colgate Country Showdown Southeastern finals. This year they have also added over a dozen new
activities. These include an ice skating rink at Polar Bear park, a new children’s museum inspired by Vernon Grant’s art, a winter carnival with carousel, a doll and teddy bear show, a journey to Bethlehem, Santa’s salute to the troops, and the debut of a full
length play about the life of Vernon Grant. One of Rock Hill’s favorite sons whose art inspired this event.
You are going to throw the diet out the window when you get a whiff of the aroma of Christmasville’s tempting holiday treats. Including A Taste of Christmas, the Chili and Soup cook-off, and the yummy food selections of sweet treats and hearty meals for all appetites. The kids will love the 20 tons of real snow, a lighted parade, and the multiple appearances of North Pole gnomes, the Grinch (boo), Mother goose and even Santa himself. All four days of Christmasville activities will be tied together with arts, crafts, Yuletide workshops, and Christmas music and concerts. This is going to be a lot of fun again this year!
