Santa pictures are free with the purchase of a weekend pass or $5 with the purchase of a general admission ticket. The digital images will be emailed to you.

The Scottsboro Woman’s League is a service organization founded in 1968. The 30-member organization’s primary efforts go to raising money for local programs and organizations that provide services to the people of Jackson County.

The organization holds two annual fundraisers, Apple Annie at the beginning of October, and Mistletoe Market, the weekend before Thanksgiving each year.

Funds from Apple Annie are donated to mental health organizations in Scottsboro and Jackson County, including Habitat for Humanity, Mountain Lakes Behavioral Center, the ARC, Turning Point Pregnancy Center, DHR and Crisis Services – Domestic Violence Coalition.

Mistletoe Market proceeds are donated to Scottsboro Educational Foundation, Impact Learning Center, Jackson County Christmas Charities, Celebrate Recovery, Local Scholarship, Nourish One Child, Children’s Advocacy Center, and the Scottsboro Public Library Summer Program.

Through funds raised from our last Mistletoe Market in 2021, the Scottsboro Women’s League was able to donate over $30,000 to organizations and programs in Scottsboro and Jackson County.
