Thursday December 15, is the Chamber's Christmas Open House and Member Showcase. This event will showcase member businesses that have been unable to host a Business after Business, or who have a home based business and would like an avenue to showcase their products in a trade show format. This event will take place in the Wine Country Visitor Centre and will give everyone an opportunity to network, browse the tradeshow, and pick up those last minute Christmas gifts. Admission will be a $2 donation to the Salvation Army Christmas hamper. Table space for Chamber Members is $75 + HST. Contact Andrea for more details.
