On this Thanksgiving holiday, the elves of Winterfest would like to salute all those who make our holiday extravaganza possible. Winterfest has the help of hundreds of volunteers every year, along with the much-needed support of the Escambia County Commission and our sponsors.

There are many things to be thankful for, such as another red trolley, a beautiful home at the old County Courthouse, and an all-new summer tour series. Not only that, but we've won a few things as well, like a legal judgement, and a grant from Google to help us promote our programs online.

We'd also like to thank all of you who enjoy Winterfest, whether you're a volunteer or a first-time visitor. It's you that helps keep Winterfest thriving.
