After big success with Saturday morning’s sale, the Downtown Perry Merchants are
already planning a full schedule of events for the holiday season, and discussed a
“snow day” with artificial snow, the Christmas parade and a host of other events at
their meeting recently at the Front Porch Tea Room on Carroll Street. Leaving the
meeting in high spirits are Tim South, Amy Davis, Nancy Jackson, Kate Lewis and
Marti Tolleson.
Downtown Merchants planning ahead
By CHARLOTTE
PERKINS
Journal Staff Writer
Could Perry become known
as The Christmas Town?
Some members of the
Downtown Merchants
Association would like to
think so, especially by
building on some popular
events that are already
part of “Christmas at the
Crossroads.”
Last Christmas, for exam
ple, the annual candlelight
Christmas service at the
courthouse square was fol
lowed by a “lamplighting”
walk down Carroll Street
with Perry Players actors
dressed in Victorian garb.
The annual Christmas
parade will be held Dec. 1
at 2 p.m., and co-sponsored
by Houston Springs and
the Houston Home Journal.
The theme will be “It’s a
Wonderful Life.”
They’re hoping to have
carriage rides and a movie
night under the stars.
Plans are also getting
firmed up for something spe
cial for kids of all ages - a
“snow day” with artificially
created snow. This will take
place near the Perry Fire
Department on the hill that
slopes down toward Ball
Street.
The downtown group
would like to hear from any
Perry churches, clubs or
civic organizations planning
Christmas events, so that all
can be part of a Christmas
calendar.
The group, which held
