The Drakes Branch Museum hosted an Old-Fashioned Christmas, presented by the Charlotte County Historical and Genealogical Society on Saturday. Citizens from all over the county came out for the event, including a couple of four-legged friends who had their photo taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus. In addition to spreading the holiday joy, guests were able to browse the museum and check out the rich history associated with Charlotte County. Refreshments were available for those in attendance. Here, Alexandria King poses with Santa. See more photos on page 5 and on www.thecharlottegazette.com.
