VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE SANTA | Rock Hill's ChristmasVille festival celebrates the magical art of Vernon Grant with festive holiday decorations, Santa, and gnomes. Vernon Grant's Santas serve as the centerpiece of the exhibits at the Center for the Arts through ChristmasVille and the holiday season. Each year, the chair of the festival selects 12 of Grant’s Santas to display as Chairman’s Choice in the Dalton Gallery. Visitors are invited to vote for their favorite Chairman’s Choice Santa during the 4-day festival with the winning image serving as the featured Santa for the following year’s event. The People’s Choice display showcases the winning images selected by festivalgoers since 2009.
