It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas and Davie County has made the nice list with a range of holiday activities sure to delight kids from 1 to 92.

Horse & Buggy Rides

Friday, Dec. 6, 6-8 p.m.

Enjoy the sights and sounds of the Christmas season with horse and buggy rides in downtown Mocksville. Rides will start and end on West Depot Street for $5 per person. Children under 5 ride for free.

A Promise of Christmas – Friday, Dec. 6, 6 – 8:30 p.m.

Put on your best tacky Christmas sweater and get in the holiday spirit while supporting a great cause. Family  Promise of Davie County invites you to support the Promise of Christmas gala at The Farm at Oak Hill on Dec. 6 from 6-8:30 p.m., $60. The evening will consist of catered food, beer/wine bar, a DJ, a tacky Christmas sweater contest, a silent auction, and a decorated tree live auction.

This event helps raise the funds necessary to continue providing day and night shelter, transportation, intensive case management, and follow-up support for homeless families. Get a decorated Christmas tree and give back to the community.

Family Promise uses a community-based response through a partnership of faith-based congregations who use their facilities and organized volunteers to provide overnight shelter and food.
