2016 Holiday Traditions, Holly Hall & Chagrin Falls Ornament

The Holiday Traditions program, presented by Your HomeTown Chagrin Falls is coming to Chagrin Falls for the 2016 Holiday season. Township Hall, on historic Main Street, will be transformed into Holly Hall, featuring visits from Santa, cocoa and cookies, caroling, a festival of mini-trees for silent auction and Santa’s gift shop, along with everyone’s favorite, horse drawn carriage rides. Santa’s Shop is back and filled with delightful gifts, all under $6 - perfect for children who save their allowance and want to surprise a teacher, parents, neighbor, or grandparent with a special gift.
 
The Christmas train set was graciously donated to Your HomeTown Chagrin Falls by Michael and Elizabeth MacIver of Chagrin Falls.
