The holiday season is well underway in old downtown Conroe, and you can still enjoy the magic it can offer. Take a walk through Heritage Park to see the big Christmas tree. Along Main, Simonton, and Thompson streets, look up at the sparkling lights on the roofs and in the shop windows.
At 127 Simonton Street, the Conroe Art League's "Christmas Is for Giving" exhibit has unique gifts for the holiday season. The show runs until January 4 and has handmade items by local artists that cost $150 or less. The gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
You can find trendy clothes and accessories at Mod Boutique, Main Street Merchants, and Sweet Texas Treasures, as well as classic items and one-of-a-kind items at Mimi's on Main and Conroe Central Market.
Deals on food are another part of the holiday mood. For a fun getaway, Margaritaville Lake Conroe's License to Chill and LandShark restaurants offer deals on dinner and drinks. The hotels are also cheaper.
Mark your calendars for future events, such as “A Tribute to the Carpenters” at the Crighton Theatre on January 4 (Saturday). Tickets can be bought at CrightonTheatre.org. Max Zawacki's comedy show at the Owen Theatre on Friday, December 27, at 7:30 p.m. will make you laugh all night. You can buy tickets at ConroeConjuring.com.
