A special evening of Holiday lights and a bag full of homemade chocolate; presented by the Old Town Association of Cottonwood.  What is not to love about this evening?

Old Town Main Street merchants stay open late; shops full of the scents of hot cocoa, mint and Holiday cheer. Stroll down the avenue as they compete for the best chocolate award. Chocolate collecting bags are decorated with historic images of Old Town Cottonwood. There will be a variety of homemade chocolates to indulge in.

Annually on the first Saturday of December.
December 7th 2013, 4-8pm.
