A Foxfire Christmas set for Saturday, December 7th.

 The changing of the seasons at Foxfire arrives with new programs and events.  The annual “A Foxfire Christmas” will take place on December 7th, with cooking demonstrations, Bluegrass, Christmas Carols and Shape-note Singing, and a variety of traditional Appalachian folk demonstrations, all located at the Foxfire Village & Museum on the side of Black Rock Mountain in beautiful Mountain City, Ga.  There is no better way to get ready for the true spirit of Christmas than a walk with friends back through time at “A Foxfire Christmas.”
