Light Up Downtown

The cold didn't put a damper on the spirits of all that came out to enjoy the Light Up Downtown festivities last week! It takes our entire community to put on an event like this, and we appreciate all the support we received to make it happen! These photos sure helped us re-live the moments! Tell us, what your favorite part of Light Up Downtown?🎅🎄☃️

The Light Up Downtown event will go on tonight and we can't wait to see you all! 🎄

The wind is causing some changes to our itinerary. For everyone's safety, the fireworks, sleigh rides and reindeer have been dropped this evening. 💨

We'll miss those elements but still have 14 packed blocks of festivities planned with plenty of places to be inside and stay warm!🔥

BONUS: Santa and Mrs. Claus will now be taking visitors INSIDE our office at the Chamber so all the little ones will have a nice warm spot for their visit. 🎅
