December 9th’s Window Walk offered a second opportunity to experience all the neighborhood has to offer during this holiday season. The weather was much warmer than the previous weekend’s opening event, and as a result there were many CWEnders and visitors alike enjoying the music, jugglers, face painting, and holiday shopping.
Among the musical groups performing were the Joe Metzka Duo at McPherson & Euclid, above, the Farshid Etnico Trio at Euclid and West Pine, and the Alberto Pacino Trio at Euclid and Laclede.
The face painter’s creativity brought a huge smile to an adorable Grinch.
A fire juggler from Circus Kaput performed at the corner of Euclid and McPherson.

Craft activities included snowflake coloring on McPherson.

Thanks again to Kate Haher, executive director of the Central West End North Community Improvement District, for another wonderful Saturday in the neighborhood. There are two more Window Walk events on Saturdays through December 23. For more information on why you don’t want to miss these events, visit CWEScene here.
The CWE looks wonderful this year – the decorations are lovely! A very impressive effort to make it ‘merry and bright’ for everyone.
