A PaintINN provides artists an opportunity to create either  a snowman porch sitter or a cardinal winter scene on wood. You chose which project to create.

The Tuesday, Dec. 8, event begins at 6 p.m. and includes supplies, artistic instruction, a glass of wine, non-alcoholic beverages and buffet plus dessert.

The Icon continues its nightly holiday window shopping walk down Main Street. We stopped at Diller Flooring and Interiors, 119 N. Main St. In this view you can see the tree in the Diller store window with a mirror image of Main Street lights and the Ream display lights in the church yard.
