Christmas in the Village

Christmas is on our minds in Ortonville. It takes times for all the elves to plan this holiday stuff - it doesn't just happen by magic!

The objectives of the Christmas in the Village are:

1. Provide a full service family Christmas experience in historic downtown Ortonville

2. Promote businesses located in the downtown area and businesses belonging to the Greater Ortonville Chamber of Commerce

3. Collaborate as a community - government agencies,service organizations, and businesses all working together

4. Recognize sponsors prominently

Work Structure: There will be a steering committee and many sub committees. Each subcommittee is empowered to achieve their piece of the whole the way they see fit and will report directly to the Xmas in the Village Coordinator.

Members of the community, do you have plans for Christmas in the Village? Please let us know by October 15th.

It's a busy week in Ortonville

I do believe there will be six meetings in Ortonville this week! And I have the pleasure of attending five of them. Starting tonite, the village of ortonville Council will meeting at 7pm in Brandon township hall. Tomorrow, the day starts with the BBE market meeting at 10am in Ken's Coney. Tomorrow evening, there will be two meetings - the Design Committee at 5pm and the Economic Restructuring Committee at 7pm both in the village conference room. Wednesday the Native Plants Team will meet in the village conference room at 12:30pm. Finally, the Christmas in the Village subcommittee will meet in the village conference room at noon on Thursday.
Although the schedule is a little bit intimidating, I can't help but be excited that there are this many people working towards a better community in Ortonville. Everyone is welcome, hope to see you there!
