Staff report

Far too many people think there’s nothing to do in or around Richmond County. Perhaps it’s that those people simply aren’t looking.

Now that Thanksgiving 2014 is history, it’s time to look at Christmas events coming up in the area. Don’t procrastinate; the sooner you look ahead, the sooner you can begin planning which events are hit-or-miss and which ones you simply don’t want to pass up.
