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 Kohl's preps for opening Special to the Journal As part of its, according to a release, “largest grand opening in company history,” Kohl’s Department Stores (NYSE: KSS) will officially open its Warner Robins store Oct. 3.
