Holly Day promises food, fun, Santa Claus

The Franklin County Chamber of Commerce is hosting its annual Holly Day festivities Dec. 4 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the A.W. Todd Centre in Russellville.

For $5 attendees can enjoy a slice of pizza and a drink, cookie decorating, entertainment, ornament-making and photos with Santa.

“Holly Day is one of my favorite events the Chamber hosts,” said executive director Cassie Medley. “Seeing the excitement of children anxiously waiting to talk to Santa, their creativity in decorating cookies and their meticulous efforts making an ornament are a few parts of Holly Day that remind me of being a kid.

“It is sure to get you in the Christmas spirit!”

Space must be reserved. Call 256-332-1760 or email info@franklincountychamber.org to reserve your time for 10 a.m., 11 a.m. or noon.
