Happy New Year!

We hope you had a wonderful Holiday season. Now we look forward to an exciting year ahead. New businesses will be coming into Downtown, new restaurants will open and the sun will keep shining on our quaint little town. Before we know it, it will be summer again and it’s not too early to start thinking about the Street Faire.

If you’re interested in participating this year there are plenty of opportunities, from volunteering, sponsorship packages or setting up a booth. Potential sponsors, for as little as $1000 you can have a logoed 8 ft. barricade banner and a website ad on the Street Faire site throughout the season. It’s a great way to expose your business online and to over 5000 people every Friday night while supporting this popular community event. Check out our website for all the details.

AND DON’T FORGET – Many of our local retailers are having sales this month to get rid of Holiday inventory. Now’s your chance to find the bargains!
