Mayor, City of Midway
This
Friday evening, as you’re still recovering from the bloating that thankfulness
can bring, I hope you’ll join us for the annual Midway Christmas Tree Lighting.
At 6:30 we’ll light up downtown and sing some carols to kick off the final
stretch of the holiday season. As I write this, there is yet to be a tree in
the common area across from Steppin’ Out Boutique, but the soil in Midway is
special, and I’m convinced a large enough tree will appear before Friday
evening.
Of course, this event leads right
into Santa’s big visit to the “little city that could,” as the jolly ol’ fat
man will be riding an RJ Corman locomotive into town at 11 a.m. The Midway
Presbyterian Church will be providing hot chocolate and the kids can visit with
Santa at Eat, Drink & Breathe until 2:00. A big thanks to the Midway
Merchants Association for all of the other fun activities that they’ll be
providing on Small Business Saturday.
Here’s to hoping you have a
wonderful and safe Thanksgiving week – and that your belt can withstand the
strain!
