A Note From Your Chamber CEO

This is it, the official kick off to what we hope will be a fantastic Holiday season! This past weekend was incredible, SO many people were out shopping Small Business Saturday, the streets in Downtown and Old Town were packed with shoppers! Not to mention the fun tree lighting in Downtown on Saturday evening. I can't wait to see all the fun that will be had in Auburn over the next few weeks.

The next big holiday celebration is MY FAVORITE part of the Holiday Season, The Festival of Lights Parade. I am so very thankful we have more sponsorships than last year, we filled up the parade faster than normal and everyone is super excited for this celebration on Saturday. Although the weather man is trying to rain on our parade (literally) we are hoping it stops before the parade kicks off. Either way, the parade is rain or shine so bundle up and get ready for some REAL fun!

Also in case you haven't heard, we have a Gnome on the Roam and he is going to different Chamber members every few days. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to guess where he is going and get into the raffle for a gift card!

Thank you for your support!!
