I’m
to
sorry
announce Fridays concert with
Scott Helmer has been canceled
at the Rialto Theater; hopefully,
they can get a new date set with
him soon for sometime next
year.
Don't forget to gift
local nonprofits
before Dec. 31 to get
the tax deduction on
time.
by Jen Rubinowitz
In the meantime, set your
clocks for First Saturday, enjoy
some great shopping in our
downtown area, and keep
making a difference for our
local merchants and artists!
studies have shown that when
you buy from an independent,
iocally owned business, rather
than a nationally owned
business, significantly more of
your money is used to make
purchases from other locals
- continuing to strengthen
the economic base of the
community. And we all know we
need that desperately!
Stay safe, stay joyful and
enjoy your arts this week!

Take a break from the holiday
preparation to kick up your heels
and dance at the monthly “Blues
& BBQ” event after the Art Walk
downtown.
If you don’t get everything you
want for Christmas, no worries!
Come enjoy shopping the New
Years Eve silent auction for more
goodies at the “Black Tie & Blue
Jeans” event at the Rialto Theater
this year. They do it Rio style
- its midnight somewhere -
which means you can toast at 10
p.m. and still make your other
parties (or stay and dance as long
as you want). I can’t believe we
are less than a month away from
celebrating a brand new year!
Don’t forget to gift your local
nonprofits before Dec. 31 to get
that tax deduction on time.
I hope you’ll start your list of
resolutions by vowing to shop
local first this year before you
automatically crank up the car to
head to Corpus Christi. Several
