For the second year in a row I've been chairman of the Downtown Christmas Committee.We have a great committee and we've pretty much got everything ready to go.
We're going to have the storyboards in the window again and Carol and I have painted 10 new ones to add to the story "A Christmas Carol". Here is a sneak preview of a couple of them.
I love the guy drinking the port!
