If a member wants to connect with you and learn more about your business, they can place their business card in the box. Diamond members may decorate free of charge. All other businesses may purchase this opportunity for $50.00. All tables must be decorated by February 12th. Registration to participate in tablescaping must be completed by February 5th!
Auction Information
We are currently accepting auction items with at least a $25.00 value. All proceeds from the auction will support the Chamber's community and economic development initiatives.
