AMBOY — By moving the date and the time of the Christmas Walk, and having near perfect weather, Amboy saw an abundance of people at the annual Christmas Walk on Saturday night.
Christmas Walk Organizers Meghan Schamberger and Gina McCoy decided on an evening event as a way to encourage more participation by businesses and also to provide more of a holiday feel with the Christmas lights on to welcome visitors. Schamberger explained that when the Christmas Walk was held on Sunday afternoon of Thanksgiving weekend, many businesses were not open that day so they did not take part.
“Thank you to all of the businesses and participants for everything they did,” Schamberger said.
