Make memories and celebrate the season downtown Dec. 11

Posted on December 2, 2020

Christmas magic is in the air, and the Taylor County Historical Society wants to help everyone create a stocking-full of happy holiday memories.

Historical Society volunteers will host the Downtown Christmas Celebration on Friday, Dec. 11, starting at 6 p.m. featuring inactive walk-thru Christmas displays and a live nativity set up in the back parking lot of the Taylor County Courthouse.

Organizations who would like to host a Christmas display are invited to contact Historical Society President Angela M. Castelucci at (850) 672-9091.

“We are following CDC-recommended guidelines in order to make sure we are celebrating safely,” Castelucci said.

Children are encouraged to bring their letters to Santa and hand-deliver them via a special “Candy Cane Express” mail drop.

There will also be a tree-lighting ceremony and a face mask decorating contest.

“However, due to COVID, we will not be having any vendors this year,” Castelucci said.
