There is only one word for describing Santa on Main this year and that word is CUTE. Santa’s parade down Main Street was lead by the band from Tucker Middle School and all the children in the band seemed genuinely happy to be able to participate. Santa followed the band in an antique red pickup truck festooned with garland and waving to all the eager young children as he passed. After Santa lit the Tucker Christmas tree he went across the street to the John Martin State Farm Insurance facility where he promptly held court for the kids while the Tucker Middle School band provided an short Christmas concert.
Several Tucker organizations offered entertainment for the kids on Main Street. There was free eggnog and sugar cookies that the kids were allowed to decorate from Publix. The Tucker Historical Society hosted a table at which the children could decorate Christmas ornaments and Tucker Lodge #42 had two fire pits where the crowd was invited to roast marshmallows and make s’mores.
A few of the shops on Main Street were hosting open houses. Both Market on Main and Stephen Harvey Salon had nice crowds milling about while a few of the other shops on Main appeared to be open but non-participants in the celebration. hopefully next year even more merchants will participate and also your roving Tuckerpedia reporter checks her camera batteries before departing her tiny Tucker abode.
