Bradford's Old Fashioned Christmas
From Main Street Manager Anita Dolan:
The public is invited to help celebrate the holiday season and the heritage of Bradford’s oil history with its annual Living Windows/Old Fashioned Christmas Event scheduled for Friday, December 12 from 5:30 until 8 p.m.
The event will feature traditional holiday decorations and festively decorated displays of oil memorabilia, along with Living Window displays. The memorabilia is a salute to the area’s ‘Oil 150’ celebrations.
Other activities scheduled throughout the evening include free horse drawn carriage rides, a Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce Open House, wandering caroling groups, a performance by the Fretz Middle School Show Choir, a Garfield Grubfest Lasagna Bakeoff at the First United Methodist Church, and of course, shopping. Santa Claus and his elves will also be visiting Main Street!
Families are encouraged to shop locally and relax from the hustle and bustle of a busy time of year. The horse drawn carriage rides are free and will begin at National City Bank. The route will alternate around Veteran’s Square returning to the bank, and Festival Way returning to the bank. The Fretz Middle School Show Choir will perform at Veteran’s Square at 6 p.m. Their show will be followed by caroling music sung by members of the community. The Bradford area Youth For Christ will be hosting a ‘Garfield Grubfest’ Lasagna bakeoff fundraiser at the First United Methodist Church on the corner of Chestnut and Chambers Street from 5 – 7 p.m.
Storefronts participating in Living Windows include: Sunset Bay Tanning Salon and Melange, the Massage Spa, Keeping Ewe in Stitches, the Main Street Mercantile, Roseart Gifts and Paper to Pages. Warming stations serving refreshments such as hot chocolate, coffee, cookies and popcorn will be located at Coldwell Banker Realty, the New Broaster, and the SPCA adoption center which will be located for the evening in the former Nickel Paint store on Kennedy Street. The SPCA will have refreshments, pets available for adoption, fundraising items for sale and will offer pictures with Santa.
This will be a fun festive evening for the entire family! Santa Claus and his Elves will be on Main Street with a stocking full of candy canes for the duration of the event!
There will be free parking in downtown Bradford and extended shopping hours throughout the holiday season.
