Then on December 6th, enjoy a day full of special promotions, open houses, caroling, ice carving and extended shopping hours at many retailers.
This is all part of the 45 Days of December holiday promotion presented by the Greater Downtown Council. Twenty-one storefront windows were draped in red curtains earlier this month to mask the construction efforts of their holiday displays. Those curtains were pulled back on the night of the Christmas City of the North Parade to unveil the magical displays. Anyone who votes at participating businesses is automatically entered into daily downtown gift give-aways.
�Businesses are really getting into the holiday spirit, as well as the competitive spirit,� said GDC President Kristi Stokes. �Plus, by adding a day-long celebration on December 6th throughout the downtown, there�s more excitement and energy.�
From carolers in the skywalk system and ice sculptors at Lake Superior Plaza to extended shopping hours, in-store promotions, sidewalk sales and live music at Holiday Center and open houses at Fitger�s and beyond, there�s plenty of holiday cheer.
Plus, join us at 5:00PM near the Community Christmas Tree at Lake Superior Plaza

He said everything went smoothly this past weekend and the dealers and customers seem to be enjoying the new games and schedule.
'We're doing some construction work, setting tables and working with cameras and lighting and trying to get that all right, and we'll start training in that area in the next week, so we're getting close, yes. Charity nights are coming up Monday the 17th and 18th, and so that will be our practice, if you will. Then shortly thereafter, we'll get opened up here,' said Marshall.
The new tables are behind curtains in the middle of the main gaming floor, and won't be unveiled until the morning of Dec. 17.
Marshall said more than 40 new tables will be available, and he hopes to have all of them up and running by the holiday.
