Tacachale Brings Holiday Cheer to Community

On December 7, residents and staff at Tacachale in Gainesville welcomed the community to their 38th annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. Residents and staff were excited to be back in action after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. "Our residents look forward to the tree lighting every year," said Administrator Michael Mayfield. "They get so excited to welcome the community and to be part of something special."

In addition to the tree lighting ceremony, there was a live band, refreshments, and a visit from Santa himself.  It was a wonderful event enjoyed by all.
