This Week's Lunch with the Chamber
Yesterday's LIVE Lunch with the Chamber was on location at Rustic Interiors, and Santa was with us to lend his moral support! The video was short and sweet (only about 3 minutes) and all about upcoming holiday celebrations (and a sneak peak of some great gifts at Rustic Interiors).
