CHAMBER NEWSLETTER | SEPTEMBER 2022
Brickfest
Brickfest is shaping up to be a very packed day full of fun, including live music and a bigger and better parade. The vendor area is filling up fast, but there are still a few spaces available. Some of the vendors include local organizations like the Masonic Lodge, Whitebead 8th Grade, Pauls Valley High School Junior Class, Girl Scout Troop 259, and Cub Scout Pack 73, and merchandise vendors like Cuttingedge Puzzles, Kandy's Candies, Rustic Notions, MaKoy River Designs, Rock-A-Billy Goat Soap and many more. There will still be the usual activities like games alongside the usual antique car show, brick toss contest and bike stunt show. The date is Saturday, Sept. 24.
Fallfest
Never fear!! There are still lots of opportunities for your business to be seen by everyone who attends this family fun event Saturday, Oct. 29. You can sponsor a face-painter or host a booth with a game. There is no cost for the booth, you provide the staff, the game and the prizes. If you need help with games, we have some ideas.

Or if you cannot attend the event in person, you can still get recognition with a space on the Witches Wheel of Wonder for only $150. The Chamber furnishes the prizes.
Christmas in the Valley
The Chamber's Christmas plans continue to get a lot of attention. Besides the annual Chamber Bucks and window decoration contest, Christmas in the Valley is set for Saturday, Dec. 3. The day's activities include a vendor market, an art market at The Vault, roaming carolers, s'mores, an Adventure Walk for families, an ugly sweater contest for families, couples, individuals and kids, multiple photo ops and much more. Stay tuned for more details, follow the event on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/PVChristmas or contact the Chamber at president@paulsvalleychamber.com to find out how you can help.
