Drop Anchor News: Navigating St.Marys Happening!
This past weekend, downtown St. Marys was filled with warmth, light, and community spirit as two beloved holiday events came together to create something truly special.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the waterfront transformed into a glowing scene during Set Sail with Santa. Decorated boats lit up the water, creating a magical backdrop that brought smiles to faces of all ages. The reflections of twinkling lights on the river, paired with crisp evening air, made for a picture-perfect start to the night.
