Moses McKinzey texturized fake snow around an ice skating rink in Dahlonega’s Hancock Park on Wednesday night as a film crew of about 150 continued work on a Hallmark Channel movie. McKinzey, who grew up in Dahlonega, is working as a production assistant on “Shooting Christmas,” which will wrap up filming Oct. 14, just in time for the mountain town’s annual Gold Rush fall festival. “(The snow) looks so real on camera, you would think they filmed it up North,” McKinzey said. Icicle lights and fake snowball mounds were also set up.
