I would like to go on record that this is just a review for market square during the holidays. The miscreants and businesspersons that clog this area during the rest of the year don't count.
The holidays in market square are amazing. Magical. Seeing the magic of Christmas through the eyes of a child is something everyone should experience once in their lives. Market Square has everything that a child could want to see or do for the holidays.
First stop was at Santa's house. Santa was a great guy. Took his time with the kids, and was even gentle with the gangs shy guy. The kids loved him and we got a picture with Santa for a $5 donation to the Food Bank. Money well spent.
We then went over to the party balloon guy, and he entertained us for a good 15 minutes while he made both the kids candy canes with a reindeer on top. He was very funny and kept the kids interested by popping balloons and making jokes.
The shops and vendors were all great. I'm definitely going back to the shops sometime before Christmas so I can get some gifts for my family!!
Happy Holidays!
