Elizabethton Welcomes Santa’s Elf Ambassador ‘Bridget’ to Spread Christmas Cheer This Season

The quaint city of Elizabethton is buzzing with excitement this holiday season as the Parks and Recreation Department transforms the community with beautiful decorations and festive events. In the midst of this celebratory atmosphere, a special guest has arrived to sprinkle a touch of enchantment over the city—Bridget, Santa Claus’s very own Elf Ambassador.

A Personal Touch from the North Pole

Bridget, the delightful elf, has made her entry into Elizabethton with a heart full of joy and a mission to boost the spirits of residents after what has been a challenging year. This spirited little ambassador is not just any elf; she carries the name of the historic Covered Bridge in Elizabethton, the proud owner of the title of the oldest covered bridge in Tennessee, standing firm at a remarkable 142 years old.

As a self-proclaimed “scout elf”, Bridget has been busy creating magical moments throughout the city parks. She has traveled to the charming Covered Bridge Park and the lively Harmon Park, relishing the beautiful scenery and finding joy in playful activities like swinging on the swings.

Magic in the Air

One of the highlights for Bridget this season was witnessing the grand lighting of the gigantic Christmas tree at the annual Lighting of the Fraser Fir event, generously presented by Carter County Bank. Surrounded by the twinkling lights and cheerful faces, Bridget felt the true spirit of Christmas come alive. She brings her own magical flair to the celebration, utilizing elf magic for her long-distance travels and effortlessly gliding around Elizabethton on her magical roller skate for shorter trips.

Spreading Cheer, One Smile at a Time

Bridget believes that sharing joy doesn’t always require words; sometimes just being there and listening can work wonders. Her genuine approach to spreading Christmas cheer centers on small acts of kindness. A smile here, a kind word there, all contribute to creating a merrier world during the holidays.

Embracing Community Spirit

Covered Bridge Jams and Covered Bridge Days. These events foster a sense of community and togetherness, which is especially important during this time of year. She is particularly looking forward to an upcoming event called “Lego: Think Outside the Blocks”, scheduled for January 25. Bridget hopes to attend and continue to inspire creativity and joy among the residents.

Finding Joy in Holiday Favorites

When she’s not busy spreading holiday cheer, Bridget enjoys cozying up to her favorite holiday movie, “Elf”, and dancing along to the iconic song “Here Comes Santa Claus.” These beloved traditions remind her of the joys of the season and the importance of togetherness.
