This is the week--the home stretch for the FOURTEENTH @Christmas4City!
Help us manage the crowds and keep everyone safe by letting us know when you'll be coming down to the Benton. The team has developed a "non-binding" RSVP (😂) where you can pick a time:

The late night shift goes to the artists! Veteran CFTC artist Leo Rucker along with new artist Jonathan Dockery are putting the base layers for a 48’ x 8’ mural to be painted by the community at #CFTC2019.
Don’t miss it in Winston 2 at the Benton on Thursday night!!

Always exciting when SES (Special Event Services) rolls in....as they’ve been doing for 12 years now!!
Grateful for these and over 100 other business partners that are and have always been such a huge part of making this free gift to the community possible.

The tree was empty this morning. When Mom returned home with the gifts. The 11 years old asked, "Do they know how much happiness they bring to people's hearts." One happy child.

Right around this time of year, the pace of @christmas4city absolutely hits warp speed! So much to tell you, but here's the latest real-time development: thanks to the generosity of @mlamphier & #IndigoOutdoorLLC, we are now live on four billboards on University Pkwy

If you’ve ever read the children’s book “Stone Soup,” you know that @christmas4city is a living, real-life version of every aspect of that tale: the abundance that comes as everyone shares what they have, the beautiful “recipe” of the ENTIRE community coming together...
