For the past few years Allison, Eva and I have participated in a great local event called the Chocolate Lovers Stroll. We did it in 2008 when Eva was just four months old and then again 2009 when she was 16 months. It is a wonderful event that happens in downtown North Attleboro and there are about 30 businesses that participate. The tickets were to go on sale at 11:45am and at 12:15pm we arrived to see this sign.
One nice thing that I love about North Attleboro is the Downtown Association. While downtowns across America are struggling to stay alive ours continues to do something about it. We get vibrant new businesses as well as local fixtures. And we also have some great events to generate spirit like the Chocolate Lovers Stroll.
The event serves quite a few purposes. For one thing it draws people to the downtown. It gets people to discover that the downtown area has much to offer. It gives businesses downtown a day to welcome many people through their doors. It also gives people something to do for a few dollars and a couple of hours.
Allison, Eva and I went on this walk last year and we had so much fun. The same can be said about this year. The chocolates are still wonderful and we got to see many people. I even got a few photos using the Xshot.
Which is great because today is the last day to get Free Shipping from Xshot. And today I received a CD from Michael from Xshot with a video that I made a few years ago, I somehow lost it and it was no longer online, but now it has been found so if you are still unsure about the dramatic differences between taking a photo at arm’s length and taking one with an Xshot watch the video below for a good explanation.
