Businesses Events News Community Info Member Center About Contact Chamber of Commerce Chatter November Happenings Happy November! Can you believe 2021 is almost over? It’s that time of year to start thinking about turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy and all the trimmings! My tummy is excited about this food and gathering with friends and family this holiday season. With everything we have all been through over the last year and a half, we should count our blessings as we gather. We have Veteran’s Day, Harvest of Savings, Thanksgiving and Black Friday coming up this month. It is time to start thinking about doing that Christmas shopping. Be sure to shop local first. If you can’t find something, don’t be afraid to ask if it can be ordered for you! Watch the newspaper and listen to the radio for the Veteran’s Day programs that will be held in the community. The schools do a wonderful job honoring and commemorating our Veterans. The Chamber Business Boosters will be holding the Harvest of Savings Event on Friday, November 19th. The sales in the stores will start when they open for business that morning and continue until 7:30pm. We will be doing the Finale Party this year at 8pm at the Handlebend Building. Amanda and her staff at Neko’s Pub will be providing the food for the party. Some businesses will have their own drawings in their stores and there will be wooden nickel flips for $600 in shamrock bucks at the Finale Party. Shop the participating stores, collect your playing cards and come to the Finale Party for your chance to win! We will be announcing the winners from some of the businesses also! Stay tuned for the list of participating businesses to be coming out soon. Friday, December 4th will be the Hometown Christmas. We have moved the soup supper, cookie decorating, Santa and Pour Paint Ornaments to the Handlebend Building so everything will be downtown this year, running from 5pm to 6:30pm. Kloppenborgs will be doing hayrack rides at the corner of 3rd and Douglas starting at 4pm. The Lighted Parade will be at 7pm with lineup starting at 6:30. Get your parade entry designed and entered with the form inside! A poster with all the sponsors will be going out in a couple of weeks. We are working on something very exciting for the 2022 Chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet. Save the date of Friday, January 14th! You won’t want to miss this fantastic show! More information about the show and tickets will be available later. I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! Be sure to count your blessings and be extra thankful this year as you gather with your family and friends. SHOP LOCAL on Black Friday! Want to view the entire newsletter?
