Greetings from Downtown Waterville!
Jorgensen's

The holidays are right around the corner, and as you will read in this newsletter, Downtown Waterville is gearing up for another festive season. Join us tonight for the Brighter Holiday Auction to benefit Kringleville, and plan to come Downtown throughout the season for all your holiday gift-giving needs.

In this issue, we would like to recognize Jorgensen's Main Street Cafe for their recent design improvements, including the restoration of their beautiful tin ceiling! We also want to wish a fond farewell to Jeff and Abby Gordon, who have been wonderful supporters of Downtown, as they move on to pursue new opportunities. Stop by Jorgensen's to wish them your best, and be sure to welcome new owners Ginny and Steve Bolduc to the downtown family.
