Autumn is beautiful in Madison, Indiana!
At the Chamber of Commerce, we are getting ready for the Business Expo and Small Business Dinner on Thursday, Nov. 20. We hold this gala event at Clifty Inn, Clifty Falls State Park, and there's no finer place to be in November. For information go to the Chamber website.
Retailers are creating their holiday decor and stocking the shelves for the opening night of the holiday shopping season -- Friday, Nov. 14. Many stores will be open until 9 p.m. for the MBPA Holiday Open House. The Madison Main Street Program "Art Jam," with live music and fine arts displays, will also be that evening.
It's also time to get your ticket for Madison's Night Before Christmas Candlelight Tour of Homes, held the two weekends after Thanksgiving. Advance sale tickets save you a lot, but they're only available through Nov. 14. See details at the event website.
Autumn color is at its height right now. It's a great week to get photos for RoundAbout Madison's Bicentennial Photography Contest. The deadline for entries is Dec. 31. Information and an entry form are available at www.RoundAboutMadison.com.
