We are only 5 weeks away from the kick off to the Christmas season in New Bern. Our Elf Squad is making final preparations for the transformation of Bear Plaza starting the 1st of November. With the holiday season quickly approaching I wanted to take a moment to send out a few important dates for you to take note of. We will have event posters coming out the end of next week.
