November  News
News from your director...

The 2019 Deer Festival and Deer Dash were a HUGE Success.  The weather was perfect! We had the largest number of vendors to date. We also had one of the largest number of runners in the Deer Dash to date. There are Deer Festival Shirts available for sale.  The cost is $20. Stop in today to pick your shirt up.  

Everyone had a great day and are eager for the 2020 Deer Festival.  
Please save the date for our 54th Deer Festival and  23rd Deer Dash November 7th, 2020. 

This event couldn't have been possible without the help of our Chamber Board of Directors, City and County Employees, and many volunteers! 

Thank you all for a wonderful and smooth 2019 Deer Festival!!
