Over $5,000 for a Christmas Market
In 2008, the Department of Commerce gave the Carlinville Christmas Market Foundation (CMF) a grant worth $5,325.41. The CMF is a non-profit organization formed in 2006 that produces the annual Carlinville Christmas Market and aims to make it the “premier holiday event in central Illinois.” The purpose of the Christmas Market is to attract guests to Carlinville and promote local economic development by showcasing “what is exciting, enticing, and unique in Central Illinois.”
