The Holiday Season in Woodbury and Cannon County comes to life today with the arrival of Santa Claus as the 24th annual Cannon County Country Christmas Merchants Open House takes place tonight and tomorrow in downtown Woodbury. Several businesses around the square and some around Woodbury and Cannon County will be open until 9 this evening serving refreshments, registering people for door prizes and offering significant discounts to shoppers giving everyone a head start on Christmas Shopping the weekend before Thanksgiving. Santa Claus plans to arrive on the square starting at 5:00 this afternoon. There will be free wagon rides around the square with Santa provided by the Middle Tennessee Mule Skinners Association. Then at 6:00 Santa will head over to Bob and Jules General Store located on Main Street to participate with shoppers and you can get your child’s picture made with Santa at that time. Christmas music will be played over the speakers throughout the event Friday night. Saturday the event continues as most businesses will be open by 9A. Santa will also be back Saturday morning greeting shoppers and visiting stores. 10A at the Cannon County Courthouse will feature live music from Robyn Taylor and Ryan Miller, Kevin Quarles and Woodbury’s own gospel group Men Of Grace. The grand prize is a gift basket that was collectively put together by the merchants participating in the Christmas Open House.
