Sounds amazing – there would even be an opportunity for indoor vendors or events in conjunction at the Library and the Cultural Centre – making it a larger, more expansive event! Indoor and outdoor vendors…crafts, hot chocolate, music etc… Also would provide a contingency/shelter in case of inclement weather!

Great idea, well conceived Tom :)
Sounds like a great idea. Hopefully Council will adopt this motion and also retain name Christmas Market. It’s sure to be a popular event.
