SAFFORD — A snowball fight in Safford?
That’s just one of the activities in which children will be able to take part during the 22nd annual Merry Main Street and Tree Lighting event on Safford’s Main Street on Friday. Nov. 24, starting at 5:30 p.m.
The snowballs — light, spongy white balls — are sponsored by Ginaveve’s Marketplace, and will take place near Willa’s Cottage, which is sponsoring free face painting.
Kym Gifford is doing double duty for Merry Main Street, with her properties, the Venue on Main and the Vignette, sponsoring the Gingerbread House judging contest. And her other business, Keyhole Properties, sponsoring additional snowball games.
The Vignette will also be the place to get a free Merry Memories holiday photo, sponsored by Gila Valley Photo Booth.
