“The annual Christmas Open House is an exciting and unique opportunity for many of the downtown merchants to show their products, including great food, said Leonard Hardware owner Susan Risbeck-Sanor. It’s also a time when our community can show it’s support for small, local businesses which, in turn, helps to boost our local economy.” Sanor also urges Open House Shoppers to visit downtown restaurants during the special weekend.

Other upcoming events include Small Business Saturday on November 24th. And on Saturday, Dec 1st, the SBA and Gednetz-Ruzek- Brown Funeral Home will co-sponsor Sebring’s very first live Christmas tree lighting, followed by the Grand Parade down 15th Street, and a Winter Wonderland party with Santa in the community room at the funeral home.
