A small village southwest of Ottawa will transform into a Christmas wonderland on Saturday, a tradition decades in the making, attracting visitors from far and wide.
Volunteers on Thursday were busy at work preparing a Christmas scene along St. Lawrence Street in Merrickville, Ont.
Christmas in Merrickville has now grown into a full day event, closing off the main street, and attracting visitors from Quebec and Ontario. "It's huge, it's the busiest day of the year and it's a good family day, lots of people come out every year," said Heather Dalliare of The Merry Christmas Shop. "If you're looking for the spirit of Christmas I think we have it here," Cameron said."We're inviting not only our community but our surrounding communities and we love the support that we get from other communities."
"We're nearing the end! We have to make sure the lists are all up to date, the naughty and nice list, but so far the naughty list is pretty short," he told CTV News.
