I agree with our Executive Director, Karen Park: Fall is a time of beautiful changing landscapes, festivals, and growing anticipation for the holidays! This is a time when I am uniquely thankful for the vibrant business communities that surround us. After all, our communities offer every conceivable product and service I could possibly need for the holidays - everything from extraordinary complete take-out dinners to art to jewelry to exquisite chocolates to home remodeling to in-home care services for a loved one so I can travel the world—seriously, you name it, our communities have it! We even have the travel agency that can make my world tour possible! If you can dream it, our communities can make it happen. So, as you plan your holiday celebrations, I invite you to pick up our 2023 – 2024 Chamber of Commerce Shop Local Guide and Directory.
