Peg Roth, Clarkston City Council member, and Kevin Harrison, owner of KH Home, are working with other downtown businesses in My Clarkston, Buy Clarkston retailers? group to kick off the Christmas season with a Holiday Walk, 11 a.m.-9 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 7.
‘It’s to remind shoppers they have a local option when looking for gifts for the holidays,? Harrison said.
Downtown Main Street merchants offer cookies, treats, and other specials for kids until 5 p.m., wine and hors d’oeuvres for aults in the evening.
They are also creating a unifying, simple holiday decorating theme this holiday season.
Dozens of slim feather evergreen trees will decorate the two-block Main Street area in historic downtown Clarkston. Each tree will be decorated with single color lights, including white, blue, green, and orange.
“It will be like a little forest of trees outside each business, to give a festive feel to the village,” Harrison said.
The trees can be displayed in retail windows inside and outside of downtown businesses, and lit 24/7 from the day after Thanksgiving through Jan. 6, 2010.
