March 2009 Newsletter
Sunday, March 1st, 2009To all my Dear Candlelight Shoppers,
How blessed we are to have people like you frequenting our beautiful store!
These are very exciting days for Rockwall’s Historic Towne Square. We applied for and became one of the newest cities in the Texas Main Street Program. This is quite an achievement as only four cities per year are chosen. The city hired Bethany Golden as a Liaison between the State and City to oversee the program and ensure the programs success. Bethany comes to us from Paris Texas where she has been a Main Street Manager for the past four years. The program in Paris was very successful and we have every belief ours will be successful as well.
Tuesday, March 24th at 10:00 am the City of Rockwall will be hosting the Main Street First Lady’s Tour. Texas Governor Rick Perry’s wife Anita Perry will take part in the ceremony.
We have some new neighbors! Two new restaurants are opening soon. One is on the same block as Candlelight and the second will be at the north end of San Jacinto Street. Two more reasons to spend an hour or a day on The Square.
Exciting new businesses are opening quite regularly here in our Downtown District. A new brochure is being created for distribution all over East Texas inviting visitors to our unique town. We want to show everyone they don’t have to go all the way to Dallas for an enjoyable and complete shopping and/or dining experience.
Candlelight & Lamposts is proud to be your source for Brighton Accessories in this area. Brighton is a wonderful manufacturer of Fine Accessories and Collectables. Their guarantee is unequaled in comparable merchandise. We feel both blessed and honored that they chose us to represent them in Rockwall. As our sales continue to rise, we plan to devote more and more space to their product.
Tonight we move our clocks forward signaling the beginning of Spring 2009. Hopefully we will have some nice spring showers, soon the flowers will begin to bloom and the wonderful smell of fresh cut grass will fill the air. What a lovely time of year! In the midst of this economic slowdown we had a nice January and February, of course, we owe that to you and we sincerely thank you for that.
The beginning of spring also means that we are getting in some nice new Spring & Summer clothing as well as offering a substantial savings on our Fall & Winter apparel. Many Fall & Winter items are as much as 75% off the original retail price. What a deal!
Don’t forget, if you have a birthday in March, you will receive an additional 20% discount off the marked price. Just mention this letter when you check out. This is our special Birthday Gift to you.
May God’s richest blessings be upon you, and may March 2009 be one of your best months ever!
