On Thursday, December 1 from 6-8pm the Fuquay-Varina Revitalization Association will once again be providing free horse drawn sleigh rides in the historic Fuquay District.

As a special thank you to individual Friends of Downtown Fuquay-Varina donors, the first 75 individual donors for the 2012 campaign will receive 4 reserved tickets prior to the event. These tickets serve as a “Fast Pass” and will give you access in front of the lines to ride the sleigh. The campaign begins October 1 of each year. To learn how to become a friend visit Friends of Downtown Fuquay-Varina.

In the spirit of giving and helping people in our community Fuquay-Varina Downtown  asking everyone to bring a canned food item which will serve as your “ticket” for the sleigh. In case you forget a canned good, we will have a FV Food Pantry donation box available. Line set up will begin at 5:30. The sleigh ride will be first come, first serve, unless you have a “fast pass friend ticket”. The line will begin at TR Ashworth and will extend down the sidewalks on Main and Depot Street. Children age 2 and under must sit on an adult’s lap during the sleigh ride. The last ride of the evening will be at 7:55 pm
