Twinkling lights and holiday decorations adorn buildings and trees, giving an outside representation of the Christmas spirit contained within Black Mountain.

I certainly hope the businesses and the Town will clean-up after the Friday night festivities before the parade on Saturday.

Last year all the public trash cans on the streets were overflowing, and there were left over luminary bags blowing around like tumbleweeds.... not to mention some businesses has placed their weekly trash out on the sidewalks as well.

Not exactly the "look" one wants when inviting thousands into town for a Christmas parade.

You cant afford the prices that's why we spend our money at walmart so we can afford things for our children, everyone knows this little town is a tourist trap and they want it for the tourist.
