On LinkedIn? Make sure to follow Willmar Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce to keep up with current events in your local business community! 
The Chamber is cancelling the Red Carpet (Fabulous Armadillos) event due to field and stage logistics that can’t be overcome at Bill Taunton Stadium. Additionally, with the increase number of COVID-19 cases in Kandiyohi County over the last week to ten days, the health of our community is priority.
We plan to reschedule the Red Carpet event for another time in the future. 
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
