Christmas: Amanda Gilling volunteered to find three judges for the Santa parade. Cookie

BID Coordinator Report
November 6, 2025
Octoberfest
o It was a hot one!
o Vendor setup went about as well as it ever has gone! Thank you, Alex Hartwig.
o Belmark, event sponsor, had a great time at the event and enjoyed interacting with attendees.
o Bands were great, and I’ve penciled them in for next year already.
o Setup and clean up went well thanks to Zion Lutheran and Shuffles Dance Studio.
o Any other things I should note for next year?
Witches’ Night Out
o Great turnout! We estimate about 1000 witches were in downtown throughout the day.
o Many witches were there early in the day – some waiting in their cars for stores to open at 10
a.m.
o T-shirt sales were great and only had 5 shirts leftover.
o Weather cooperated for the band so a tent was not needed. Band was The Cool Hat and they
were good, but will try to book Spark Spark Bang for next year again – they just have more of a
local following and people stick around longer when they are playing.
Christmas
o Fox 11 Advertising
Fox 11 Living on Nov. 5 and recording a Holiday Stroll segment that will air closer to
Holiday Stroll.
Digital ads will run for Christmas Open House and Holiday Stroll.
o Christmas Open House
This weekend!
o Holiday Stroll & Tree Lighting (will provide update on each topic below during the meeting)
Trolley
Christmas Trees
Horse-drawn wagon sponsors
Santa goodie bag sponsors
Vendors at the event
o Santa Parade
Charlie’s County Market confirmed as sponsor
Facebook event created
Santa will be at Coldwell Banker Real Estate Group prior to the parade and at the Santa
House following the parade.
o Cookie Walk
I’ve failed.
Other
o Sacred Heart Halloween parade took place on Wednesday, October 29
o Flower pots almost all picked up
o Adirondack chairs need to be stored away for the winter

Business Improvement District Action Item
Meeting Date: November 6, 2025
Submitted By: Lindsay Johnson, Coordinator
Agenda Category: Action Item
Title: Event Dates for 2026
Subject: The approval of this action item would finalize BID event dates for 2026.
Background: Event dates need to be determined so they can be added to calendars ASAP.
Financial Considerations: None
Recommendation: Recommend the following BID event dates for 2026
Spring BreakOUT – Saturday, March 14
In 2025 we chose the second Saturday in March and seemed to be a time that Shawano
Downtown businesses needed a boost. Note that Easter is Sunday, April 5, 2026.
Derby Day – Friday, May 1
(In 2025, we chose the first Friday in May to coincide with the Kentucky Derby which is on
Saturday.)
ShawanoFest – Saturday, July 11
Historically, the second Saturday in July.
Octoberfest – Saturday, October 3
Historically, the first Saturday in October.
Witches’ Night Out – Friday, October 9
Historically, the Friday following Octoberfest.
Christmas Open House – Friday, November 6 & Saturday, November 7
For the past two years this has been the first or second weekend in November. In 2026,
November only has four weekends so I am suggesting Nov. 6 & 7.
Holiday Stroll & Tree Lighting – Saturday, November 28
Historically, the Saturday after Thanksgiving to coincide with Small Business Saturday.
Santa Parade – Friday, December 4
Historically, the first Friday in December.
