We donned our masks for a stroll around downtown this afternoon. There is plenty of evidence of local businesses adjusting to the times. Bits of road and sidewalk have been claimed and roped off for dining, with patio heaters and even a small marquee in one case.
I almost hope it continues. I always like it when people claim back some of the space usually clogged up with cars. Traditionally the Main Street is closed for some annual events: an art fair, a fall festival, a vintage car rally, but of course none of these happened this year. Still the Main Street Committee have put their energy into keeping things cheerful . In the summer there were painted Adirondack chairs, and this fall there have been sponsored scarecrows. It seems the scarecrows’ time is up, however, as yesterday, the Christmas lights arrived!
