The forecast of rain will not stop Victorian Christmas in Summerville tomorrow (Saturday, December 9th), but it will alter the event to a degree.  Susan Locklear with Summerville Main Street told WZQZ News that the event will be held inside the Summerville Depot.  A Holiday Market with vendors will still take place and the Holiday Stop and Shop event will feature a $500 cash give away. (See below for details).  Because of the rain, there will be no carriage rides available tomorrow. 

Santa at the Depot

Children may enjoy free storytelling and visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus at the Summerville Depot. Gingerbread cookies & Yoo-Hoo chocolate milks will be served to the first 300 children. Story Telling and visits will begin at 11:00 a.m. with the last session beginning at 4:00 p.m.       

How Does The Holiday Stop ‘N Shop Work? 

Event participants will pick up a locations map/passport with participating businesses. The maps/passports may be picked up at participating downtown Summerville businesses this Saturday. To join the fun, event goers will simply visit all of the participating businesses to complete the passport map during the business hours during the Stop ‘N Shop event. There is no purchase necessary to participate. Upon entering the participating business, all event participants will have the sales clerk/cashier to stamp their passport map. Upon completion of the passport map, event participants will turn in the passport to Three Penny Treasures, located beside Jefferson’s. 

Grand Prize Drawing for $500 

All completed passports should be turned in by 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 9 to be entered for the Grand Prize Drawing of $500, sponsored by Summerville Main Street to be held at 4:45p.m. on the courthouse steps. Event participants do not need to be present to win. Summerville Main Street is encouraging the public to support local Summerville small businesses by shopping during and following this event.
