- Each business is encouraged to host an open house. We will not have drawing boxes at each business as we have in the past. The drawing boxes for the Chamber Bucks will only be at the park and the silent auction.
We would also appreciate it if each business would donate a Christmas decoration/ornament for the silent auction. The proceeds will be used to pay for the Chamber Bucks prizes. We will include your business name and whatever other information you want on the donated item for advertisement. If you are interested in donating a silent auction item, please deliver it to Peggy Fritsche at the First Central Bank Loan Production Office in the mall.
If you are not interested in hosting an open house for your business, please help out in another way. There will be plenty of work to do at the park and at the movie theater.
There will also be lots of businesses holding open houses during this time also.
