SANTA’S VILLAGE is starting to look busy again. This, of course, is his busiest time of the year. The elves are starting to order lumber, nails, glue, paint, fabric, etc. so that they can start building all those toys that every girl and boy is dreaming about receiving this year. We also need to prepare for his arrival. As you might have guessed by now, our theme this year is “Santa’s Village.” We cordially invite you to participate in this year’s Candy Cane Countdown.
Your Chamber is planning a number of events to make this shopping season a success for you! Back by popular demand, Candy Cane Countdown passports, are available November 23, 2009. Mark your calendar! You do not want to miss the Christmas Light Parade to be held November 26, 2009 at 7:00 P.M. Of course, we will welcome any type of entry, but we are hoping that everyone will join in the fun by portraying the theme of “Santa’s Village.” We request that you do not have a Santa on your float so as not to cause confusion for children watching the parade.
We will have a Scavenger Hunt again this year with a new twist. It will be a week-long event starting December 9 to 18, 2009. Look for the clues in the Standard Newspaper. To kick off Late Night Shopping we are hoping that you will participate in a coupon exchange. Please let us know if you would like to participate in this wonderful way to get shoppers into your store.
Just like Santa’s elves, your Chamber “elves” are working hard to help you have a successful Christmas shopping season.
