First Weekend of Christmas Walk

Christmas Walk weekends seem a marathon to shopkeepers, with hours from 1o am to 10 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, but Sunday is a bit better closing at 5 pm. The first weekend of the 2007 Christmas Walk is now over.

Crowds seemed to be a bit lower than expected, but still steady throughout Friday and Saturday, though dampened even more by afternoon drizzle on Sunday.

None the less, the town is beautiful decked out in a wondrous array of laterns on the canal, lights on the buildings bushes and bridges, and the candles on the streets. A great time and place to do some Christmas shopping.

The new "Side Track Restaurant" is now open under the astute cooking skills and guiding hand of Nancy Johnson, a "Taste of Home" field editor, located in the former "Duck Creek Palace" restuarant building. A fine addition to places to dine while visiting historic Metamora.
