It is run by our Chamber of Commerce now rather than Sandy Main Street (which sadly is no more), but participation is huge. More than half of all businesses in downtown Sandy participate now -- even some of those that are normally closed on a Saturday have been opening up for the event. It's a great way to promote local business. Last year we counted something like 1,600 kids participating -- this doesn't count parents or guardians....just kids in costume. We have a population of just over 11,000.</div><div style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">We view our event as primarily for local businesses -- we do have a few businesses that have outside vendors that come and "help" them hand out candy and promotional stuff -- but it's only a handful, and we don't really allow businesses from outside Sandy to come in and set up shop for this event. The reason is that this event is primarily a <b><i>retail/service business awareness event</i></b>, in that we are trying to show locals what stores we have downtown so they don't feel like they have to drive to Gresham or Portland (nothing against those two cities, of course!) to do their shopping when we have stores downtown that they might not know about. You might think that the locals already know what is in their downtown, but we are constantly surprised by how many do not know. For instance, we have a "new" meat market downtown that has been in business for more than a year (opened August 2017), and they still get multiple customers <b><u>every day</u></b> that say "I had no idea you were here!", even though they literally drive by the store every day on their way to work. Dolly's Pet Shop moved from one downtown location to another one literally two blocks away on the same street, and she still gets one or two a month that say "I thought you went out of business years ago!" or "When did you decide to open up shop again!" She moved over 4 years ago. :)</div><div style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">As to religious or political organizations....any business or org downtown is welcome to participate. Some of our churches and most of our non-profits do. One of our biggest and most flamboyant participants is the local gun retailer. We've never had any problems with proselytizing or other inappropriate behavior that I know of. And it keep growing every year. </div><div style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Hope that helps!
