HOLIDAY STROLL
(Posted 2010-11-29 16:12:45 by ArchPaladin)

This past weekend my wife and I went to the Holiday Stroll in Nashua.  This
is an annual event where the city will block off Main Street in Nashua and
coordinate a number of local artists and exhibits to be present there for a
few hours.  Of course, during this time all the local businesses on the
strip are also open.

It was pretty cool, although really cold to be out walking.  There was an
ice sculpture exhibit, many local bands and choruses, some performances
from the Society of American Magicians, and a small outside theater set up
that would play holiday movies.  There were also stands from the Red Cross
trying to organize blood donations.

My wife and I walked through a number of the local stores, as apparently
this is a good commercial opportunity for the local businesses.  We have
determined that the main street in Nashua is a vastly underutilized
resource in the city as there are apparently a lot of small places selling
obscure stuff that we like, and was completely unknown to us, despite
having lived in Nashua for three years now.  We walked by a number of the
local performances too - some of which were really good - but we didn't
stay long there because it wasn't as interesting.

Admittedly, I do wish that they would have the event when it was warmer and
easier to walk around.
