    Hi Pete,
    Except for that random capital H in THere (which I assume is a typo), your sentences are grammatical, but staring "There will be" and "There will be" twice in a row is not great style. What about "We will have a ..." for the first one?

    I agree with Barb_D...too many "There will be"

    Another opening sentence could be.

    My shopping mall will be holding a winter sale in December.
