Volunteers Wanted to Help Decorate Broadway Street for Christmas Stroll
MT43 News Staff Reporter
Townsend Area Chamber members firmed up final plans for the Christmas Stroll on December 6. The city-wide event begins at 4:00pm. Broadway Street will be closed from Front Street to the courthouse. Chamber members are slated to decorate Broadway Street light poles Tuesday, December 2, beginning at noon. Rotary members will help Pat Plantenberg light the main street trees beginning Wednesday, November 26, at noon and will continue until all trees have lights. Work will usually begin at noon. To volunteer, please call Pat at (406) 431-4615.
Santa Claus and Mrs. Santa will entertain requests for presents from children at a new location this year. According to Chamber member Doug Sitton, Tom Hay of Rocky Mountain Mini Cabins donated the use of a “Santa’s Workshop” cabin. The building, now on location at the corner of Broadway and Front Street, will be decorated by Chamber members. The cabin will be placed strategically in “Phil’s Forest” of trees brought in by Rotary member Phil Knaub every year. Historically, Townsend Elementary school students decorate the trees.
Members of the public who would like to volunteer, please check the Townsend Area Chamber of Commerce website or call Doug Sitton at (406) 422-3426.
