Christmas Walk support is appreciated

The 24th annual Dixon Christmas Walk was a major success again this year. With a crowd estimated to be more than 5,000 people, downtown Dixon was filled with plenty of holiday cheer.

A huge thank you to all of the downtown shop owners and our special guests who helped to make the night magical. Our presenting sponsor again this year was the Dixon Chamber of Commerce, which has supported the Christmas Walk every year since its beginning.

Thanks to Dixon Paint Co., ACE Hardware, and Dixon Tourism for sponsoring the Great Snowball Drop and to all of the businesses that donated prizes for the event. The DHS Madrigal singers popped in and out of shops throughout the night, and the Rock River Valley Barbershoppers and Patti Balayti led the community Christmas caroling.
