'Tis the Season

The holiday season is off to a great start with the annual Christmas on Green Street Celebration on Sunday, December 6th.  Created by the Hall County Historical Society, Christmas on Green Street is an opportunity for the community to tour the homes on historic Green Street in downtown Gainesville and partake in some holiday cheer. Each year a classic car parade starts the evening at dusk, complete with Santa on a vintage fire truck. Performances by local groups, carolers and much more at each home on the tour. At the Quinlan this year, we had many treats to delight the children of our neighborhood. Free train rides (provided by the Hall County Historical Society) and free crafts for kids sponsored by the Georgia Art League. We entertained a record breaking 140 children this year at the Quinlan and I can show you the glitter, sequins and sparkles to prove it! High priestess of fun, Fox Gradin of Celestial Studios, helped us to create pine cone Christmas trees for each child.

Thank you to our extra special  volunteers from the Georgia Art League: Anne Brodie Hill, Carmen Stolerena and Alyce Black.

Thank you to The Magical Mr. McClure for providing balloon animals at our entrance for all the children on such a chilly evening!
