Events of Thursday, November 29, 2018

The Walton Annual Holiday Walk Thru will be held on Thursday, November 29th, from 4 – 7 PM. This 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 600 children, plus, 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. All a vision Ric Walton had no idea would help as many children as it does in this community. The holidays are a special time of the year for the staff of the Walton Insurance Group and we’re excited to share the season with you! *donations will gladly be accepted to help support the Walton Insurance Group charity fund* Walton Insurance Group, 2929 Spring Arbor Rd, Jackson.
