The purpose of the 12 Days of Christmas is to encourage everyone to visit and shop downtown
during the holiday season. It is also a way of organizing all the events happening downtown in
one central location so everyone knows what is scheduled and can plan accordingly.
“There are always lots of things going on during the holidays,” says Huddleston. “The calendar
helps everyone know what is happening downtown – hopefully, you can join us for one, two or
all of the events.”
For more information about the various events, contact Tori Huddleston at 293.4000 or check

reminders.
