Update 12/15/2020:

I asked, and several people sent in their photos with Santa Claus hanging out in Rockmart this past weekend. Here’s those photos:

Reminder: you can submit a Hometown Photo anytime (with a brief story around it) to kevin@polk.today!

Thanks for the submissions from Ashlie Floyd, James Richardson and Chaye Sisson.

Santa Claus was back in downtown Rockmart this weekend, waving at passing cars and making his way over to the Christmas tree, where if you were lucky enough you might have gotten to take a photo with him.

The unexpected visit by Kris Kringle in Polk County on Saturday was made possible by Rockmart’s Jeff Howard, who dressed up as St. Nick to help provide some holiday cheer for the community.

Those who managed to get a picture with Santa and want to share it can send it along to kevin@polk.today. I’ll add it in a slideshow with this post after a few come in, should people choose to share.

Thanks to Santa (Jeff) for the quick photo opportunity and smiles provided for those out and about over the weekend!
