The Gift ~ Vicksburg, MS
As we celebrate this heart warming time of the year, may you experience Love, Peace, and Joy! We are a community here in Vicksburg, MS and the Chamber is the living room of our community! So, how do you bottle and sell a feeling of community, appreciation, and warmth? In recent days, many who have lived in other areas, have told me that they want Vicksburg, MS to be their home.
We have a special gift of Vicksburg. Let's work with due diligence in 2017 to sell our community and be proud to be from Vicksburg! Buy your gifts from local businesses and support your neighbors!
Have a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Jane Flowers,
Director
Vicksburg-Warren County Chamber of Commerce
