Finishing Touches in place for Dec. 3, 2011 Courthouse Christmas

Fifteen of 16 vendor spaces now rented. Charles Grimsley will try to accommodate latecomers, but available space is very limited. Event segues beautifully with other downtown Christmas traditions: The Rotary Sausage Breakfast at the Columbia Baptist Church starts before and continues into start of Courthouse Celebration, and the Courthouse Christmas ends in time for a meal at one of Columbia's restaurants, and in time for the big Christmas in Columbia Parade, which follows its traditional route through the Square in Downtown Columbia.
