Well it has been one heck of a few days! Were you able to make it over to the Mountain Mandarin Festival? If not you truly missed out. It was amazing weather, the mandarins were incredibly delicious and there were more vendors than ever before. I also enjoyed a lot of local businesses being a part of it and some of the best festival food I have ever had. I have to give a HUGE congratulations to Executive Director Gary Gilligan and his incredible team for putting on this wonderful festival for our community. I talked to so many people that came from all over the state (and a few out of state) to partake in this festival, it truly is one of a kind! Congratulations Gary!

Now that we got through the OFFICIAL start of Mandarin Season (my FAVORITE time of year) we can jump right in to Thanksgiving. I can't wait to spend the day with family and remind myself of how thankful I am for all that is around me. I have an amazing job where I get to do what I love, phenomenal children who make my life so much better and teach me something ne every day, an incredibly supportive husband who gives up so much so I can do the early morning and late evening meetings and events, a fabulous family who always supports me and the best friends I could ever imagine. I am so incredibly grateful to be truly living my best life!

And to the Members of the Auburn Chamber of Commerce, we are so incredibly thankful for YOU! Without you supporting us in all we do, we couldn't continue! From your Chamber to you, Happy Thanksgiving!
