Atkinson is preparing to celebrate the holiday season with its annual Christmas Festival on Saturday, December 6th. The event offers something for every age, from the popular cookie walk and festive cookie decorating for children to a soup and chili cook-off sure to please hungry visitors. Attendees can also snap photos with Santa, admire a display of creative gingerbread houses, and vote for their favorite entry in the Christmas tree contest. Adding extra sparkle this year is a new lighted parade, featuring festively decorated golf carts and lawnmowers winding through town, promising a bright and cheerful kickoff to the holidays.
