Thank you to all participating chamber members!  This program is successful because of our YOU!

Thank you to those who attended the Living Nativity last Thursday night and to the volunteers that helped with the event. 

A special thank you to Greg & Richard Vold, Dorrich Dairy for providing straw and setting up the nativity, to Hope Church for providing carolers and to Tom's Market for providing hot cider and cookies during the event.


The horse drawn trolley Rides and family skating event at Barsness Park for tonight, December 28th has been CANCELLED.   Unfortunately the weekend weather has made the ice rink in poor condition and the ice under the snow dangerous for the horses and trolley.  

The Glenwood Lakes Area Chamber and Welcome Center will be closed from December 23 to January 2, 2017.  If you need to get a hold of one of us, you can call Scott's cell phone at 320-420-2926. 

As always check out our calendar of events, the Pope County Tribune and Starbuck Times  and listen to our local radio station KMGK 107.1 FM for all the events and activities happening this holiday season!

Have a good week and Happy New Year!

We would like to congratulate Hilltop Lumber on being chosen as the Glenwood Lakes Area Chamber December Member of the Month!
