This Friday, December 5, marks what is traditionally the busiest evening of the year along Montana Avenue as merchants host their annual Holiday Walk between 7th and 17th Streets. Festivities include free food, drinks, live music, sidewalk displays, Santa Claus, and a ton of folks having a good time wandering through the many specialty stores. As a special treat, the Aero Theater will screen, free of charge, a reel of 18 vintage Warner Brothers cartoons including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, the Road Runner and other classics. Many pre-date television and were intended to be seen on the big screen. Holiday Walk hours are 5 – 9 p.m. and the Aero screening starts at 7:30 p.m.
