The Augusta GreenJackets invite the entire CSRA to come out and bring in the holidays with their Ninth Annual Auggie’s Holiday BUZZar & Toys for Tots drive.
This event is free for all individuals, families and pets and will be Saturday, Dec. 10 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the SRP Park at 187 Railroad Ave. in North Augusta.
Featured activities include more than 50 small CSRA businesses that will be set up for any holiday shopping, photos with Santa and Auggie the GreenJacket. The North Augusta School of Dance will showcase some holiday dance ensembles at 10:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
