Question: In Gainesville, what annual Thanksgiving tradition involves decorating the town square to transition into the Christmas season?
Answer: The Lighting of the Chicken! Every year, Gainesville lights a 25-foot, 1,500-pound metal chicken sculpture atop Main Street Market. The big event is part of a celebration called “Jingle Mingle.” This year’s event took place on Saturday, but this video will give you the idea.
