Cider and hot cocoa helped ward off the cold Thursday as parents and children flocked to the downtown for the Old-Fashioned Holiday celebration.

Residents cozied up to one another on the free carriage rides that clip-clopped down Mainstreet and the surrounding avenues. Luminaries and light displays brightened the night. Children and adults alike ventured to pet the reindeer at Clock Tower Plaza.

The night may have been cold, but the holiday spirit warmed the town.
