From Friday Art Walk to Heirloom Holidays Tour

This weekend's got plenty in store in and around Roswell, especially for Christmas revelers.

The weather is expected to be gloomy all weekend, but there's too much going on in Roswell to dampen the holiday spirit. 

Here's a quick look at what's coming up from Friday through Sunday, including Santa Claus coming to town and the Heirloom Holiday Tour.

But because rain's in the forecast all weekend, you may want to check before heading out for outdoor activities.
