Happy Holidays!
We here at the Chamber are looking forward to the holiday season and all the joys that come with it.
For those of you who aren’t aware, there is a WINTER ART WALK on Friday December 15th in Downtown Rutland. There will be 8 galleries open – some existing and some pop up! Guided walking tours are at 3:00 and 6:00 or feel free to walk on your own! Music and refreshments will be at venues between 5:00 and 8:00. Keep your eyes out for more information as we promote the event next week. Get out, check out the Rutland Art Scene next Friday!
Another magnificent event that is currently in the works is WINTERFEST 2018 taking place February 17th-24th President’s Week! Watch for the exciting schedule of events – different things every day! From snow sculpture contests and Pub Crawls to snow shoe 5K’s to movies at the Paramount Theatre – there will be so much to do! The week ends with a fun Chamber Event – THE REAL RUTLAND FEUD – a game show taking place at the Paramount Theatre. We will have local businesses face off and those who know best “WHAT THE SURVEY SAYS” will take home the trophy! Teams will be revealed starting at the beginning of January – so mark your calendars for February 24th and get your tickets early!
The joint Policy Committee of the Chamber and Rutland Economic Development Corporation will hold a LEGISLATIVE BREAKFAST on Monday January 22,nd at the Franklin Conference Center. Please join us and the Rutland Delegation as we learn what important issues will be addressed this session and hear from you what you would like to see focus on.
Don’t forget the annual GIFT OF LIFE MARATHON taking place December 20th, 21st and 22nd . As always, the need is critical and this region is extremely generous with it’s blood! Don’t wait to make an appointment. There is a team competition this year and if you are able – tell them you are part of Team Chamber and help us win a Maple Creemee Party!
Who said there isn’t anything going on in our Region??
Please have a happy healthy and safe holiday season! We are looking forward to great things next year!
