Light Up Night Review
Thank you to the sponsors and the business community for opening its doors and lighting up the night for residents and visitors, showing their customers appreciation. In December the businesses did go all out with their decorations and served old fashion eggnog, cookies and other holiday goodies as well as offered special deals and sidewalk sales.
We saw over 500 people on the street visiting your business. We had 40 businesses sign up and set up shops and or tents, with 10 tents at our
Chamber! there were decorations and treats on the streets, with plenty of music
and holiday cheer and there were more lights than we could count. Thanks again
