ROCKWALL/HEATH, TX – Dec. 17, 2020 – The Rockwall-Heath High School chapter of Best Buddies International had to get creative this year to celebrate the holidays. Instead of their annual Christmas party, they hosted an outdoor event at Towne Center Park in Heath. They broke into small groups and walked through the Christmas lights, played holiday music, ate cookies, and drank hot chocolate.
