Christmas In The Park 2011

A video and photo look at the celebration, Suwanee style.

Ebenezer Scrooge was nowhere in sight in Suwanee last weekend. Plenty of other Christmas revelers were, though as Shadowbrook Baptist Church put on its annual holiday event, Christmas In The Park, on Friday and Saturday. As usual, Dickens-era costumes and displays were common, and there were attractions such as train rides, the Starry Night Theater (which featured a nativity event), and other activities. So Viewfinder recaptures the event, and it will be there for you to enjoy the rest of the holiday spirit. As Tiny Tim would say, " ... Bless us every one." Text and video by Steve Burns.
