“Kick off the holiday season by taking a stroll along the millrace that is lit up with the warm glow of luminaries,” said Kim Rudnick, Board President for the Friends of Bear’s Mill nonprofit organization. “Awaiting you is a country bonfire in the woods with straw bales for resting, while you roast hot dogs and marshmallows, and sip hot cocoa. Historic Bear’s Mill and The Greenville Creek provide a spectacular backdrop for a winter bonfire, and a fun, family holiday event.”
