There's no snow for a sleigh ride, but how about a carriage ride and some Christmas carols?
The shops and restaurants along Stetson Drive will do their best to get visitors in the holiday spirit at a free event tonight, the first-annual Holiday Stroll at SouthBridge.
For the kids, there will be cookie decorating at Garage, plus an appearance by Santa Claus. For grown-ups, there will be savings offers and spots to drop off canned food and new toy donations. And for everybody, there will be caroling, horse-drawn carriage rides, and free tasty nibbles. It all takes place from 5 to 9 p.m. this evening. -- Michele Laudig
