Sustainable Blairstown

On behalf of Sustainable Blairstown, I would like to thank and congratulate Blairstown’s business owners for doing an excellent job on the Main Street Holiday Fair event on December 11. At store after store, the holiday cheer really flowed as local business owners did an excellent job in making the evening truly enjoyable. There was music, hot cider, wonderful treats for the kids, and smiles all around despite the nip of Jack Frost in the air.

This night should mark the reestablishment of the tradition in Blairstown of bringing the community out together to celebrate the start of the Holiday Season in the spirit of community and good will. This type of gathering benefits the economic vitality of our town while also solidifying the wonderful sense of place that Blairstown offers as the town we all call home.

Special thanks to The Press for promoting the event, to REMax for Santa and the Grinch, for the Fire Department so that Santa could ride in style, and for all those behind the scenes that worked to make the evening a success.  This year’s event was pulled together in just three weeks time. What a tremendous result!

Let’s make a plan to do it again next year in a way that engages even more members of our community.
