Chamber of Commerce Chatter

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Another year is almost gone. I don't know where the time goes! The shopping days from now till Christmas are limited! Please remember to SHOP LOCAL first this holiday season. Don’t be afraid to ask for an item if you aren’t seeing it! Don’t know what to get? Purchase a gift card and let the recipient pick out what they want. There is always shamrock bucks too! They always fit, they don’t sit on a shelf and collect dust and they fit right in a card. They make great gifts for the hard to buy for, your beautician, nail tech, snow removal person, lawn care person, mail delivery person or just the neighbor next door who is always willing to help you out! The shamrock bucks are used the same as cash in chamber member businesses. The nice thing about them is the money has to stay in town and boosts our economy.

 

There are a lot of fun things happening in town in December! Check out the jam packed calendar inside. Watch my emails for more events and happenings as they come up throughout the month! We have our Hometown Christmas coming up on December 5th. See the flyer inside for all the happenings that day and evening. There is also an entry form for the Lighted Parade that evening inside. We will have the live reindeer again, sponsored by Stacy Vandersnick at Little Tots Preschool and Daycare. Thank you Stacy for your generous donation. Everyone enjoys seeing what Santa’s reindeer really look like!

 

There is the Tour of Homes, Chamber Sponsored Home Decorating Contest (entry form inside), You Got Elfed Promotion and of course, the Ugly Sweater Contest coming up on December 19th. It’s always fun to have a day to make people laugh in the midst of the crazy holiday season. Get your ugly sweaters designed and be sure to get your entry in. More information inside. If you would like to be an elf for the “You Got Elfed” promotion, just get hold of me here at the chamber office and I will explain what you have to do. It’s simple and easy and you make people’s day when you hand them $10 in shamrock bucks and thank them for shopping in O’Neill this holiday season.

 

The Chamber of Commerce would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and thank you for your support in 2025. We look forward to serving you all in 2026!
