THANK YOU!


Thank you to all of our volunteers and donors that helped us to get the new lobby floor in before Waterama when we had WCCO and many guests in town and into the Chamber & Welcome Center.

Without volunteers and donors who stepped up, this project would not have come together so nicely.
