The Fuquay-Varina Revitalization Association will host free Holiday Sleigh Rides sponsored by Patriot State Bank on Thursday, December 3rd from 6:00 - 8:00 pm during the Town Christmas Tree Lighting.  The sleigh rides will be located at Ashworth's BP Station (120 S.

 The Christmas Tree lighting, sponsored by the Town of Fuquay-Varina's Parks and Recreation Department will take place at 7:00 pm at 233 S. Main Street (large parking lot across from Cooley's Restaurant).  The tree lighting and sleigh rides are the official kick-off to the holiday season.  Don't miss it!  This is small-town America at its best.  Norman Rockwell had this in mind when he was painting!
