WINTERFEST 2020

The Chamber has been approved for two plans for WinterFest. Regardless of which, we will have at a minimum Fireworks over the water on Friday Night December 4th, and the Lighted Parade ushering Santa to town December 5th.
We will be promoting member businesses from now through the event. Last year, our exposure was outstanding, with over 50,000 views on Facebook alone. Our event calendar was opened over 1,200 times on the Saturday of WinterFest ... and on each click, YOUR Logo was there.
We need your support to put on a great show, and in turn you get promotion, advertising, and exposure to the community!
