Middleburghs Miracle on Main Street a Success
Bolstered by an influx of new businesses and hundreds of visitors, Middleburgh's Miracle on Main Street was a great success Friday evening as continuous lines of twenty to forty people braved the frigid temperatures and blustery winds to get both face time with Saint Nicholas and carriage rides across the beautifully lit Village of Middleburgh.
From young carolers outside the public library to a live Nativity scene on the lawn of St. Mark's and dozens of businesses lined up and down both sides of Main Street with displays, the atmosphere was abuzz with Christmas cheer and holiday spirit. Commenting on the success of the event, Mayor Matthew Avitabile described the event as "a wonderful show of community spirit," of which he estimated eight hundred people attended, the largest Miracle on Main Street since the event's creation fifteen years ago.

The Middleburgh Renaissance Council, and in particular Sheryl Adams and Patty Beal, worked on planning and developing this year's Miracle for months. And their hard work showed off in both the number of people who attended and the amount of success the event ultimately had.
