“Polly” waits as carriage driver Diane Teaver loads up riders at Jingle Mingle on the downtown square last November. The rides were free but Polly and Teaver work weddings and other occasions through Carriage Deluxe Inc.
As the holiday season creeps closer, Gainesville’s downtown merchants plan to kicking off this year’s festivities with the annual Jingle Mingle event. Ushering in the holiday season from 5-8 p.m. Nov. 20 will be the jolly old elf, Santa Claus. He will take his seat on the square to accept letters, pose for pictures and hear Christmas wishes from the younger crowd.
