EVERYONE WAS HAPPY to be able to enjoy Hometown Christmas, especially the arts and craft vendors who stayed warm and dry, despite the rain. Hometown Christmas always draws thousands of people. The event, sponsored by the DBPA, is now in its 18th year. Having moved the event to the county fairgrounds due to inclement weather year after year, DBPA members are planning a spring event in downtown DeFuniak Springs. (Photo by Ron Kelley)
