One of Jefferson City’s official starts to the holiday season enjoyed a large crowd, thanks in part to unseasonably warm weather Friday evening.
Jenny Neff, co-owner of the Mary Kate Johnson Art Gallery, paints the outline of a child’s hand in the window of the High Street studio. Living Windows expanded this year to include part of Madison Street and more of High Street.
C.C. McClure, manager at Downtown Book and Toy, said this year’s Living Windows seemed especially well-attended. She noticed lots more people entered the shop earlier in the evening. She thought the unseasonably mild weather probably contributed to large crowds.
“Usually this is a night for looking, but people are actually buying,” she said.
As usual, the windows of local downtown businesses were filled with dancers, singers and Christmas displays, and fun could be had for a mere song.

Unfortunate headline choice when matched with the first quote in your story. Sigh.

I was there, they used the sidewalks way more than the windows..."living windows" has always been a let down in my opinion...usually just winow advertisement with people standing in dresses that have nothing to do with Christmas, or just a tree or someone waving or something...big deal...
