Step 4: Holly Days, Holly Nights is this weekend! That means deals, deals, and more deals. Shops are open late, come downtown and grab some goodies.

Step 5: Pop in to the Brooks House Atrium for Brattleboro Flea. Gallery Walk's Market has moved indoors so you can shop and stay toasty warm.

Good morning! It's Executive Director Kate, and Gallery Walk, Social Media & Promotions Director Erin. Finally it's our turn to don plaid and urge folks to continue shopping local this holiday season! When you purchase a gift at a local small shop, the ripple is undeniable.

We are the 1.5 staff members for Downtown Brattleboro. Along with our volunteer board and our rockstar volunteer crew, we spend our days thinking up and executing programs and ideas to keep Downtown Brattleboro vibrant.

The Gallery Walk events May-Dec? That's us!

The new lights and bows adorning downtown this season, and the Holiday Tree in Pliny Park? That's us!

This social media channel with its 500+ annual photos and promotions? That's us!

Plaid Friday photos and videos? That's us!

The downtown flowers? That's us!

Monthly resource mixers and facade improvement grants for downtown merchants and orgs? That's us!

Luv Crawl in February? That's us!

Holly Lights, the new window decorating contest? Us again!

Working with the town and at the state level to advocate for downtowns and attract new businesses? That's us!

Facilitating educational opportunities for our members like Mental Health First Aid Certification and SEO Optimization? That's us!

You know what feels even nicer than giving on a Tuesday? You guessed it! Giving Wednesday. We love the work we do and strive to continually adjust to meet the most current needs of our members and of downtown as a whole. During this giving season, we ask you to consider donating to DBA because although our members are businesses, we are a non-profit organization that relies heavily on fundraising to pull off our work. We are not funded by the town or by taxpayers. A donation, no matter what size, makes a HUGE impact. One that we see and feel in a very real way. You can donate at Brattleboro.com or on our current FB fundraising campaign.

Thank you! And we'll see you downtown!
