I moved to Evergreen, CO in 2003 leaving the hustle and bustle of the California Bay Area. I now live in the foothills of Denver where there are probably only 35,000 people. I moved here thinking I'd get to know everyone pretty quick. I'm very close to accomplishing that. Recently the organization I'm President of (Evergreen Downtown Business Association) hosted "Breakfast with Santa" at the Lakehouse. We were told by the 200 attendees that it was the best Breakfast with Santa they've been to and that the services the EDBA provides to the community are very appreciated. This is great to hear. Typically the Chamber of Commerce is the face of the community and gets all the credit. We are a small group of 35 business owners situated in Downtown Evergreen. We are now getting noticed and I love it!!!
This Friday is the 18th Annual EDBA Holiday Walk. We light up downtown, provide live entertainment, food, activities, Santa & Mrs Claus show up and park their reindeer on one end for pictures. I'll have homemade peppermint bark and beverages at my office. We stay open until 9:00pm and I meet a bunch of people. I also look forward to seeing friends and past clients who come by.

I'm glad you're enjoying your new home, Chris. There's something about life in a small town that you just don't get in a big city, even one as charming as the San Francisco Bay area.
And this is why I love AR. Montpelier, VT does various evening events around the holidays, and for some reason I never even thought of being there. Hmmm...thanks for the reminder.
