There is no shortage of places in Cherokee County to personally deliver your Christmas list to Santa:
- In Canton, look for Santa downtown in the gazebo December 4, 11, and 18 from noon to 2 p.m. There will be hot chocolate and treats. The Christmas parade will take place December 11 at 2 p.m.
- Holly Springs will have a Christmas parade on December 4 at 3:30 p.m. starting on Holly Springs Parkway at Hiram Way and ending at the old train depot on Hickory Road. Santa will be at the train depot after the parade.
- Also on December 4 is Woodstock’s parade, which will start at 5:30 at Highways 92 and 5. The parade will travel north on Main Street to Old Rope Mill Road. Residents are invited to gather in city park after the parade for visits with Santa.
- On December 3, Ball Ground’s first-ever Christmas parade will begin at 6:30 p.m. at Ball Ground Elementary School and will proceed down Gilmer Ferry road. Sounds of the season will be provided by a saxophone quartet and brass ensemble, and hot chocolate and marshmallow toasting will round out the evening.
- The Cherokee County Arts Center in downtown Canton will have a visit from Santa on December 11 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This is a free event, and children can take pictures with Santa and make an ornament to take home.
- Your fur-kids don’t have to left out of the fun as the Cherokee County Animal Shelter at 1015 Univeter Road in Canton is hosting a holiday open house on December 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Bring your pets (must be on a leash or in a carrier) for photos with Santa.
