Chamber meeting, Christmas Bazaar & Little Shoppers this week

Don’t stop doing little things for others. Sometimes those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts. 

This weekend is the chamber’s annual Christmas Bazaar and Little Shoppers. They both start at 9 a.m. and are in the main hall at the fairgrounds in Basin. Great time to shop and support local, small, home-based businesses. Children 10 and under may shop for up to 10 gifts at $1 a gift. Please make sure that their gift tags are filled out before coming. It really cuts down on time and crowds. 

We have a chamber member meeting, Thursday, Dec. 12 at noon. Lunch will be cabbage burgers from Circle F. 

Get your free Christmas lights in the foyer of the chamber if you are a resident in the Basin area. It sure is fun to see all the lights including those on the homes south of Basin and WRC. More lights on the homes/businesses on C and Fourth Street would be great. The chamber will help you put them up. We have solar Christmas lights, too, so you don’t have to worry about plugging in.
