Victorian stroll held
Santa and Uncle Sam could be seen in Troy together last Sunday as the city celebrated its 24th annual Victorian Stroll. The event, traditionally held early in December each year, is a day of festivities designed to recall the styles and elegance of the mid and late 19th century. Attendees often come dressed in period attire, and local shops host special sales and shows.
This year, the Stroll featured—among other things—horse-drawn carriages, grandiose decorations, and several walking tours of the city and surrounding areas. Other notable sights included a saxophone-playing Santa Claus and costumed folk dancers. The event attracted about 20,000 people—a number that is somewhat higher than normal, likely due in part to the unusually pleasent weather that day. | |
