(Talk of the Town photo by Jennifer Zartman Romano) Below, Santa Claus arrives in downtown Columbia City in 2009 -- an annual tradition that the Columbia City Downtown Business Association has taken over and hopes to expand with events throughout the month of December. A planning meeting is set for October 20 to carve out the details.

Members of the Columbia City Downtown Business Association are hosting a special meeting for business owners and representatives in the downtown area to plan promotions and activities for November and December.
Specific topics of discussion will include the upcoming Veterans Marathon, which is expected to have up to three times as many participants involved this year, and a full month of holiday activities in December.
In 2009, the CCDBA, though not yet formalized as a group, took over sponsorship of the Santa's House and planned a Christmastime shopping event, awarding several hundred dollars worth of prizes from downtown merchants.
Any downtown area business owner or representative is invited to bring ideas to the meeting. The meeting will be held October 20 at 8 a.m. at the CC Deli.
For additional information or to become a member of the CCDBA in advance of the meeting, contact association president Steve Hostetler at 248-4700.
