Get in the Spirit for the Holidays
October is here and your Holiday Spirit Committee is well underway with events to
help make the city a destination for the
Holiday season.
Their main focus is to raise the $10,000 needed to decorate our downtown with thousands of twinkling lights. As you may know, the holiday lights are funded solely through Chamber fundraising events and contributions from our members and friends who wish to make our city bright and festive!
