Thanksgiving and Christmas Downtown Indy 2014

   Dear All,

With Thanksgiving almost here and Christmas fast approaching, I thought I would share with you what I received today from Downtown Indy.  It lists events that are going on not only this week, but special events t     that will be continuing throughout the season at the Children’s Museum, the Eiteljorg Museum, the History Center, Indianapolis Museum of Art, as well as other places.  Don’t forget about the Circle of Lights on
Friday, November 28th (the day after Thanksgiving).  Hope you and your family will be able to enjoy some of these special events that will be happening.

Sincerely,

Janice McHenry
City-County Councillor District 6
