Christmas events were held around town recently and folks came out in droves to celebrate the holidays.
In Port Royal, a golf cart parade was held on Dec. 10, where people decked out their carts in holiday finery.
In addition to a special appearance by Santa and his elves, there were refreshments, Christmas tree decorating and a ride on the Polar Express train for the children.
Additionally, on Dec. 9, Friends of Shanklin, a community-based nonprofit organization, held its Light Up the Night Family Festival, a holiday program at Habersham Marketplace. The event provided activities for all ages. There was ornament painting, letter writing to Santa, a performance by the Shanklin Elementary Choir and more.
Proceeds will help to advance Shanklin Elementary students’ educational and leadership skills.
