(HEATH, TX — Dec. 9, 2016) It was a festive night as the community kicked off Christmas in Heath at the City’s Annual Holiday in the Park.

Even a sudden rain shower that drove Santa inside to the Amy Parks Elementary Cafeteria to visit with the children didn’t dampen the spirits of close to 1,000 attendees who came out to enjoy the food trucks, activity booths and live music.
