Lavender Lights was a hit! Even with a new executive director, Penny Thomas, coming on board six weeks prior to the event, she was able to pull everything together quickly, and voila! we had lights!, as well as music, food, wine, prizes, and a dandy Santa. Friday night, Blanco was full of lavender lights and shoppers in and out of every establishment on the Square, some filling up their paper trees with purple dots to win prizes from the Chamber, lots buying, some just meandering, and some even tapping their toes to all the music!

The big white tent filled with vendors also grabbed its share of the attention; there was something for everyone. Thus, a toast is raised to the vendors, merchants, door prize sponsors, and, above all, the volunteers who made this event possible!
