Sun Trust Dickens of a Christmas 2009

Two more Fridays left for the Sun Trust Dickens of a Christmas celebration in Downtown Roanoke - so try to get out to see all the magic!!
Last week, Star City Fame went out to experience the first night of this event. It was awesome fun! I brought my smaller video camera with me to be more mobile... it helped keep people from freaking out too. I was able to get many of the vendors, passers-by, and even the Dickens street actors to just do their thing. This made editing the video so much easier and a lot of fun! So thanks everyone for participating!!

Actually, I don't have to go into any details - you can see for yourself everything that happened if you watch the video.



Please come out this Friday and next Friday... On tap for the 11th there will be an XMas Parade, and on the 18th there is a pet dress-up contest. All three Fridays are packed with sounds and colors of Christmas, street vendors, horse and carriage rides, children's games, various performances, and of course, the Dickens characters. Stores are open late along Salem and Campbell Avenues and the Market Square, and further around the perimeter.

Center in the Square, Mill Mountain Theatre and other local Arts Organizations will also have special performances, including a choir of Local Colors friends this Friday night (11th). Find out more on Facebook - Visiting Dickens of a Christmas is free, so just click to "Attend!!"

Have a wonderful Holiday Season - and see you around Downtown!!!
