Santa Claus will be making several appearances in Cary throughout early December, giving families the chance to enjoy holiday-themed photo opportunities. The settings will include Christmas trees, lights, and large wrapped gifts for a festive backdrop.

The events kick off on December 5 at Neighborhood Park on Carpenter Fire Station Road, followed by multiple dates and times at the Downtown Cary Park Gathering House, including sensory-friendly hours on December 9.

Attendees are encouraged to arrive early, as wait times are expected and lines may close prior to the official end of each session. The events are part of the larger Heart of the Holidays celebration organized by the Town of Cary.

Further information and the full schedule of holiday activities can be found at carync.gov/holidays.

Crews in the Triangle area are preparing roads as central North Carolina expects its first chance of snow this season. The NCDOT is concentrating efforts on high-traffic and elevated areas and advises drivers to slow down and give snowplows space.

Though Raleigh’s roads are not expected to be severely impacted, northern counties could face more serious conditions. Towing and roadside assistance crews are on standby with necessary equipment, ready for a potentially busy period.

Driving instructors urge caution for those who must travel. Key tips include steering in the desired direction when on ice, avoiding sudden use of pedals, and staying aware of other drivers who may not respond safely in slick conditions.

Ultimately, staying off the roads remains the safest option during winter weather, especially when ice is a factor and visibility is low.
