CONGRATULATIONS!


All I can say is "Well Done!" to our police department and community during this year's Police Lights of Christmas campaign. Our department was competing with several other departments in the State. Last year they won, but this year......this year they won by a landslide! Thanks to the many contributions of so many of our residents and businesses, the department was able to raise over $28,000 that is going to go towards gift cards and certificates for those that need a little extra help this holiday season. Many thanks to everyone that contributed!


Many thanks to everyone that attended, sponsored and donated to our Annual Meeting & Banquet. This is always a fun night to acknowledge our business anniversary awards, network, and take part in our Dessert Auction! This year we raised $4300.00 for CHS senior scholarships for 2026! Thank you all!

SANTA CLAUSE IS COMING TO TOWN!
