The Tree of Life

Sponsors Needed for Magical Christmas

 It's that time of year when the Glenwood Lakes Area Welcome Center is finalizing plans for the annual Magical Christmas in Glenwood Celebration. 

The Glenwood Lakes Area Chamber & Welcome Center is proud to organize and co-sponsor the Magical Christmas in Glenwood Celebration once again, with the help from our local sponsors! 


ALL activities are FREE and open to the public during this time of year, but without the support of local area businesses, organizations, families and individuals, we cannot offer all that we do.

The Glenwood Lakes Area Welcome Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. No goods or services are provided to the sponsors in exchange for their financial donations.  
In order to receive the tax-deduction receipt, checks must be made out to the Glenwood Lakes Area Welcome Center, not the Chamber!
