The story behind the downtown walk
BELOIT – On Saturday, Dec. 19, the Beloit Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting "Jingle Around Town" and part of the activities includes a newly added book walk downtown. After Chamber Director, Julia Rabe, contacted Rachel Malay to see if the Port Library would be interested in sponsoring a book walk to be set up in the windows of the downtown businesses, it sprang into action. Rabe thought this would be a great way for families to celebrate the holiday and still remain socially distant during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially since the park is closed to other attendance while the Chautauqua Isle of Lights displays are set up to Jan. 1.
