'Twas the days before the The Handmade Market and Holiday Boutique at the Corning Opera House , all through the town,
The holiday spirit was settling down,
With stockings hung nicely and windows so bright,
Downtown Corning was ready for folks out tonight.
The shoppers were walking all cozy and warm,
As winter was bringing its holiday charm.
First stopping by Studio 406 Salon + 406 Market for some glow,
With hair care and retail a plenty they must go.
At Red Star Feeds LLC friends could browse all around,
With Iowa's finest selected vendors found.
At Real Deals - Corning, IA they browsed for home decor bright,
And women's fresh fashion to wear for the night.
Then Background's Coffee Bar & Boutique poured a brew,
With gifts and hot coffee and tea waiting too.
At 5.21 Co. western wear caught every eye,
With boots and apparel as folks wandered by.
Hair Designers offered up tanning and style,
Where neighbors and friends stopped to chat and to smile.
Then Corning Center for the Fine Arts displayed every piece,
An art gallery shining with holiday peace.
At Vogel & Thomas shoppers could look,
For rustic farmhouse gifts straight out of a book.
While Fire & Salt Co. had cooking gear rare,
And fine gourmet meats that folks loved to prepare.
The Lone Arranger filled up the air with sweet scent,
With floral arrangements and gifts well intent.
At the Coffee Trough warm drinks were steaming up high,
To warm up the hands of each passerby.
Bella Vita Salon pampered clients in style,
With nails and hair services bringing a smile.
At Auriginal Designs they discovered anew,
A high-end salon with choice gifts waiting too.
At The Honeyed Page Bookstore, bookworms found stories to read,
While Foundations Kids brought out toys for each need.
From market to storefront, the laughter ran high,
With joy to all people as evening went by.
They cheered as they shopped in the crisp winter air,
Happy holidays to Corning, and to all shoppers, fair!
