The Spring City Tourism and Events Commission reviewed event logistics for Christmas at the Depot 2025 during its Sept. 23 meeting.
Organizers set vendors to begin at 12:00 p.m., a parade at 2:00 p.m., children’s music from 3:00–3:45 p.m., and the main band from 4:00–7:00 p.m., with a break at 6:00 p.m. for the tree‑lighting and a Christmas story read by Johnathan. Santa and Mrs. Claus are confirmed and will be available for photos and visits from 4:00–6:00 p.m.
High Carbon Steel is confirmed to perform for a cost of $1,200. The commission discussed ordering three portable toilets (the minutes note previous use of American Portables), checking inventory for reusable signage, creating new signage because of rebranding, and developing an updated master list of businesses to solicit for sponsorships, passport participation and Good Neighbor letters. A passport program will allow same‑day returns at participating businesses within walking distance. Stephanie Strader reported outreach to Chattanooga Horse Trams (contact: Corey) about carriage rides; historical costs to the commission were $900 per carriage in prior years and organizers plan to secure sponsors to cover rides ($20 per rider, $35 per couple, $60 per full carriage).
Commissioners tasked committees to divide sponsorship outreach and inventory work. The minutes record these planning steps; no formal vote was recorded for event logistics at this meeting.
