Bloomfield Main Street will be holding our annual event with a special patriotic theme. Community First Bank, Davis County Savings Bank and Commercial Federal Bank will sponsor a day full of activities planned by Main Street's Promotion, Image and Stars and Stripes Committees.

Activities begin at 10 a.m. and continue through 9:30 p.m. The day will begin with SANTA PICTURES taken at the Main Street Office; FREE MOVIE at 2 p.m. at the Iowa Threatre for children to allow parents time to shop in Bloomfield. The movie will be "Benji: Off the Leash." The movie is sponsored by Wagler Funeral Home, Spilman Auto Parts, Piper Auto Salvage and U.S. True Care Pharmacy.

A LIVING WINDOWS display will be held from 6-8 p.m., everyone is encouraged to go the Main Street office to vote for your favorite display. The annual tour of lights will begin at 5:30 p.m. and run until 9 p.m. aboard "Molly the Trolley". Tours will leave and return to the Main Street office every half hour. SANTA will again make an appearance on the square from 4-6 p.m. at his little workshop. Photo Creations will have a photo opportunity with Santa and his sleigh. Special treat bags will be given to the children.

This year Main Street is introducing a new event into Christmas, a "Star Spangled Christmas". We are recognizing the soldiers of Davis County from each area of the armed forces. December 11th from 7-9 p.m. at the Mutchler Community Center we invite our community to come together for a program and open house to salute our heroes past and present serving our country. Christmas trees at the Main Street office and the Community Center will be decked with Christmas stars featuring pictures of many of our local loved ones serving our country at this time.
