The Tree Decorating Contest is underway! Each participating business will decorate a tree to reflect that businesses tastes. The community will then have a list of the participating businesses and will go around and vote for their favorite tree! When a community member votes for a tree they will also enter themselves into a drawing! The winning tree will get goodies to enjoy and the winner of the voter drawing will get treats and a check for $150 to donate in their name to the Emmet County non-profit of their choice. Please help us make this event successful and fun, get out and vote! Click here for a list of participating Chamber Businesses!

Thank you to Christensen Farms for hosting a wonderful Lunch and Learn on Monday of Last week. We learned so much about who Christensen Farms is. Thank you to everyone who attended the event Monday and to Don Joses for catering and Sleep Inn for allowing us to use their breakfast nook. The next Lunch and Learn will be in January!

Estherville Bucks!

Estherville bucks are an important part of the Estherville Community. Last year over $26,000 of Estherville bucks were bought. That is $26,000 that can only be spent here in Estherville!!! Please remember that only Estherville Chamber members are allowed to accept the Estherville Bucks. You can use Estherville bucks to buy Christmas presents at many of the local retailers, they can be used to get groceries for your Holiday dinners or to get gas at Sinclair to get you to Grandma's house! Estherville Bucks stimulate Estherville's local economy!
