Christmas Comes To Rockbridge Baths
A large crowd turned out for the annual lighting of the swinging bridge in Rockbridge Baths Sunday night, an event that is continuing to grow in popularity. Those attending sang Christmas carols and enjoyed cider, hot chocolate and other refreshments. Children got to have their photos made with Santa and, if they were brave enough, met with the Grinch, who proved to be not so Grinchy. Santa will return to Rockbridge Baths this Saturday, Dec. 2, from 8 to 10 a.m. at the firehouse for the Breakfast with Santa event. (Stephanie Mikels Blevins photos) 11/28/2023 11:00 PM
