Absolutely worth every cent and then some. The best Holiday event for the whole family in the Metro. I hope to continue to see the attendance grow each year. lots of activities where parents and kiddos can participate together. Tons of seating and photo opp locations. If we hadn't been sick all December my family and I would have come multiple times.

Glad to see local companies sponsoring and supporting this great event that supports a non-profit in town.
