(WFIE) - Many Tri-State families have an extra guest in their house this time of year - an elf on the shelf. One Chandler family was determined to catch their elf named Figgy in action. The Vanwinkle family says Figgy, standing just a few inches tall and dressed in red and white, has been pretty busy this year. âHeâs been hiding on the shelf,â says eight-year-old Liam Vanwinkle.
