It’s almost that most wonderful time of the year again. Experience a month of holiday cheer as downtown shops, museums and businesses pull out all of the stops for the Old Capitol Holiday Walks. The fun begins this Saturday with the tree lighting after 4:30 p.m. on the Old Capital Plaza. Abraham and Mary Lincoln will be present as well as Santa during the pre-lighting festivities. Enjoy hot cocoa and cookies.
