Merchants in Downtown Pomeroy were happily wrapping presents and ringing up purchases during Pomeroy's Twinkle Light Sale last Thursday. The mood was calm and cozy and twinkley in Meyers Hardware as customers came and went, spending time perusing the glittering displays of Christmastime gifts, and they could be seen making the rounds to the other Twinkle Light businesses, the Pomeroy Pharmacy, the Blue Mountain Artisan's Guild Art Gallery and The Community Trunk. People were warmly greeted in each establishment where they could unhurriedly make their Christmas gift selections. -EW photo
