(OLD COLORADO CITY) — Old Colorado City is inviting visitors and locals to shop on Saturday, Dec. 7 during the Christmas Character Crawl, starting at 10 a.m.

This family-friendly event encourages participants to search for the five Christmas characters hiding at various businesses throughout Old Colorado City, then snap a photo with the characters posting to Instagram with #OCCFun for an opportunity to win hundreds of dollars in gift cards.

The contest winner will be announced on The Avenue OCC Events Instagram page on 12/8.

Last year, the event drew a large crowd, so organizers are suggesting individuals arrive early.
