		<description><![CDATA[The Downtown merchants would like to thank the public for their support over the Christmas Holiday. The idea of “Buy Local” has helped many of our merchants. We would like to thank all of the Stores for decorating the windows for the holiday season. The theme this year was “A WHITE CHRISTMAS”. The snowflakes, snowflake banners and wreathes were just the touch to create a festive mood in the Downtown area. The DDB would like to thank the City of St. Thomas Parks Department, HIRA, St. Thomas Canadian Tire, and St. Thomas Energy for making our downtown so beautiful. &#160; &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.downtownstthomas.com/windows-of-christmas/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This year our theme is WHITE. Our annual window decorating contest will be for everyone. There will be no need to register or be nominated.  All locations will be included in our judging process. A panel of 3 judges will be selected from our Board.  They will review each location and determine which displays will merit recognition for First, Second or Third place plaques. We encourage everyone to promote a renewed spirit of excitement through your creative displays.   Lets demonstrate we are a community that accepts our challenges and cares about promoting a positive image to all. &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the Christmas season approaching us soon we are very busy planning many traditional events. We have been very fortunate with everyone supporting our downtown retailers to have been able to come together and purchase beautiful new decorative snowflakes that will be lining Talbot St. There will also be new winter banners and also our parkette’s will be lit and beautifully decorated.  This will hopefully add a beautiful touch to our city and our downtown so everyone can enjoy. The Santa Claus parade is always a great event to get community together and to be able to share what the &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.downtownstthomas.com/holiday-spirit-is-here/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 2011 St. Thomas Home, Garden and Outdoor Living Show held at the Timken Centre this past spring was a huge success.  The 2012 show will run from March 29th to April 2nd.  As a DDB we have the opportunity to take exclusive use of The Doug Tarry Room at the Timken Centre.  It can be divided into 16-20 booths and includes a small community and entertainment area.  We can make this area the “Place to Be” for show visitors.  So far about 13 downtown businesses, as well as our own DDB, have agreed to be part of this project &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.downtownstthomas.com/home-and-garden-show-2012/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
