Walton Holiday Walk Thru. Enjoy music, holiday displays, cookies, special guests and more! The Holiday Walk Thru has been an annual event at Walton Insurance Group since 2003. The event started as Ric Walton’s vision for helping and caring for the less fortunate kids in the Jackson area. It started a spark under the employees, and has grown to an average of 750 children, parents, grandparents and friends coming through the Winter Wonderland. Children are greeted by members of our team dressed in characters they are very familiar with, such as Spiderman, Shrek, Cat-In-The-Hat, Ernie, Grinch, Disney Princesses, many elves, and of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus. The office is decorated in traditional Christmas themes and the children enjoy hot cocoa, movies, Christmas cookies, reindeer and a toy at the end of their tour. The holidays are a special time of the year for the staff of the Walton Insurance Group and they’re excited to share the season with you!*donations will gladly be accepted to help support the Walton Insurance Group charity fund*.
