My friends and I have enjoyed organizing Calico Christmas these past several years but due to a series of unfortunate events, Calico Christmas 2008 is hereby canceled.
However, prospective parade participants are still actively being organized by Megan Birchfield for a parade to take place either December 13 or other date determined by the City of Grantville.
Notice to Craft Vendors: Grantville resident Rebecca Campbell is also hosting a craft event on November 8 (see seperate G.Net news notice about that.) It is also my understanding that Bethlehem Baptist Church will be hosting a holiday craft fair - tentative date is December 13. Prospective vendors can contact me and I'll forward your information to the church organizers and anyone else I know hosting craft-selling opportunities. Nick's Pizzeria will be also selling locally made crafts and gifts throughout the holiday season. Please contact me if you would like to have your items available for sale at Nick's.
Given the state of the economy, Nick's/G.Net will instead be organizing a food-packaging activity for the Grantville Food Bank instead of presenting the annual Calico Banquet. Please let me know if you would like to help with this endeavor.

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." (Teddy Roosevelt)
