Town staff told the Economic Development Corporation (EDC) and Community Development Corporation (CDC) that 'Christmas at the Commons' is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 1, starting at 5:30 p.m. The staff report said the event expanded from 37 to 53 vendors and that organizers have raised $22,500 to support the program.
Staff also noted the event will include a new "Star Center" area tied to the sports complex and asked board members for volunteers and help with traffic-flow adjustments. "This year, we have 53 vendors...We have 14 food vendors. We've raised 22,500," the staff member said. Board members confirmed several volunteers already had signed up and discussed booth placement and a relocated train attraction to improve traffic flow.
The briefing included reminders about related calendar items: a virtual economic-development sales-tax workshop running Dec. 1–15 (registration deadline Nov. 28) and a board appreciation banquet moved from Dec. 6 to Dec. 12 at the Cambria hotel; staff said they would circulate registration details and event updates in email and on social media. The presentation closed with a request that board members note volunteer and participation deadlines so resident-facing promotions can continue.
