Main Street Oxford was dishing out some festive favorites at the annual Soup & Sweet Stroll, complete with carols from "America's Got Talent" contestant, and Oxford school shooting survivor, Ava Swiss. Photographer Steve Koss captures how much the event means to a healing community.
Downtown Oxford showed off its culinary prowess last Friday, with the annual Soup & Sweet Stroll drawing a crowd. Twelve restaurants provided ticketed visitors choices of soups and desserts, as well as hot chocolate, Santa photos, ornament making, and crafts stations.
