25th Anniversary Kick-Off Party
Thank you to everyone who attended
our 25th Anniversary Kick-Off Party.
We were so glad to have you help us
celebrate. The evening was a fun,
fabulous event for all who attended.
The only complaint we’ve heard is
that they wished there were more
people there. So be sure to add this
event to your calendar for next year.
We may need to find a reason to
celebrate every year.
Thank you to our wonderful sponsor,
Boldt Carlisle + Smith. They have
been a long time supporter of the
Chamber, since its inception.
Thank you to our wonderful
volunteers who helped us plan and
set up. Thank you to Tass Morrison
for her work in organizing the
musicians to play. Thank you to Paula
and Jim Newman for leading us all in
a rousing version of the 12 Days of
Christmas (Holly Shop Hop verion).
Thank you to Leslie Seaver and Fresh
to You Produce for lending us some
festive fall decorations. Thank you to
Sharlene and Mary May at Trexler
Farm for the delicious food.
