[November 15, 2012]
Main Street Lincoln invites the
public to enjoy historic downtown Lincoln throughout the holiday
season. With the height of the holiday season fast approaching,
downtown businesses are readying for shoppers.
|
 Nov. 24 is nationally recognized as Small Business Saturday. This
event falls between Black Friday and Cyber Monday and is dedicated
to supporting small business in our communities. Shoppers are
encouraged to continue their power shopping of Black Friday in
downtown Lincoln, finding specials and bargains throughout.
On Nov 29, Main Street Lincoln and the city of Lincoln co-sponsor
the annual Christmas parade. This year's theme is "Sending Holiday
Greetings to Your Loved Ones" to honor the 100th anniversary of the
Lincoln post office. Entries are being accepted through Nov. 23. The
parade will kick off at 5:30 p.m. and take the same route as
previous years. Prizes in many categories will be given. Following
the parade, the Oasis Senior Center will host a chili and soup
supper, along with craft items available, and Mr. Claus will be on
hand for the children.
Throughout December, historic downtown Lincoln will be alive with
the hustle and bustle of shopping and holiday cheer. Santa will make
appearances throughout downtown Dec. 8, 15 and 22, with exact
locations to be announced soon. Shoppers can enjoy the convenience
and pride of shopping locally.
