Dear Editor:
The Kingman Downtown Merchants Association would like to thank the community, participating businesses and our Sponsors for their support to this year’s Very Merry Christmas “Street of Lights” Christmas festival and the Mingle Jingle Christmas Bazaar. Including the City of Kingman’s Tree Lighting Ceremony and Santa landing by helicopter with the help of Careflight 6 Medical Services.
The streets were crowded, so very-very festive, with thousands of shining lights and over 100 vendors/displays. The holiday kickoff energy was high and fun times were had by all, both young and old!
A Special “Thank You” goes out to Jamie Russell, Pam Wanner, Dennis Radcliff, Barbara Lane, Becky Fawson, Matt Wanner and to Joni Millin for orchestrating these Christmas Festival details.
To all of our Downtown Merchants and the City of Kingman Staff and to the many City Departments involved for helping bring this event to our Historic Downtown streets: and a huge shout out to our City Council for all their involvement and support!
