Although it's hard to believe, it's time for our free and affordable holiday happenings for the Athens, Georgia area! With money tight for most everyone this year, rest assured I'll be searching out some of the best holiday fun that is affordable for everyone!
Let's start with the Athens, Georgia Parade of Lights 2008 which will be winding it's way through downtown Athens on Thursday, December the 4th at 7pm. Bring a thermos of hot cocoa, dress warmly and you are set to go. And ask one of my favorite lenders, Amy Coile of Classic City Mortgage, about her UNEXPECTED appearance in the parade a few years ago.
Cocoa, S'mores & Stories are in store for your kiddies ages 4-8 on Saturday, December 6, 2008 at Rocksprings Park. Only $1.00 per child but you must call for reservations at 706.613-3606.
