The Holiday season is here! They are now playing Christmas music on the radio, people have their lights up, and Santa is getting ready to load his sleigh. The Christmas season is my favorite time of the year! Most of you are familiar with the classic movie, Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase. His house decoration inspires me to avoid the mistakes Clark makes in the movie.
The Chamber wanted to give Paynesville a "Hallmark Look" this holiday season. We decorated the trees downtown along with the lights on the street poles. We would like to thank the city and Ron Mergen for helping us light up our town.
The Chamber collaborated with the Paynesville Community Service Center to present Paynesville Whobilation! We had cookie decorating, pictures with Santa, sleigh rides, fun contests, and much more! We also kicked off our Light Fight event. Make sure you vote for your favorite lights!
Merry Christmas!
