Deck the Street!
It was a great success!
We had mugs of steaming drinks, sweet & savory munchies, art to delight the eyes of young and old. We saw neighbors helping neighbors hang festive swags of beribboned greenery on lamposts, rides in a horse drawn sleigh, a visit from St. Nicholas, and heard live music on the crisp winter air!
More than 200 people joined us in Downtown Dutchtown on Meramec Street for a bit of Holiday revelry, in the 3200 and 3300 blocks of Meramec,just east of Grand. Meramec Street will be closed from Louisiana to Compton.
Five area Restaurants - Nel's, Iron Barley, Fraser's, Paladora Pizza & Mora and the Feasting Fox- provided lots of goodies to warm our bellies and delight our spirits.
Live Bands, like Swing Set and Dizzy Atmosphere, Pandora's Matchbox Fire Spinners, Caricaturist Cbabi Bayoc, plus a variety of other artists put on great shows. St Nicholas and Santa took many photos with admirers. Everyone enjoyed this little bit of magic in Downtown Dutchtown!
Thanks for coming and hope to see you at our next event!
