Let's turn Challis into a Winter Wonderland! The h

Let's turn Challis into a Winter Wonderland! The holiday season is almost here, and we're inviting all local businesses to join in the festive fun by decorating their storefronts and businesses for the holidays!

This year's theme is "Winter Wonderland," and we're encouraging businesses to get creative and help bring some extra holiday magic to our community. Pull out those snowmen, trees, and holiday decorations you've used in years past, or dream up something entirely new! Whether it's a snowy scene, a forest of Christmas trees, sparkling lights, or your own unique winter wonderland, we want to see it!

Here's how to participate:
❄ Decorate your business with the Winter Wonderland theme.
❄ Have your decorations completed by Monday, November 30th.
❄ Take photos of your festive display and email them to challischamber@gmail.com by Friday, December 11th.
❄ Voting will take place during Shop Hop on Saturday, December 12th and winners will be announced on Monday, December 14th.

Let's fill our town with holiday cheer, encourage folks to stroll through town, and showcase the creativity and community spirit of our local businesses!

The Challis Area Chamber of Commerce will be holding its Board of Directors elections in December, and we are now accepting nominations!

Our Board of Directors plays an important role in guiding the Chamber, supporting our local businesses, promoting the Challis area, and helping strengthen our community. We are looking for engaged members who are interested in sharing their ideas, contributing their time and talents, and helping move our organization forward.

Do you know someone who would make a great addition to the board? Or have you considered getting more involved yourself? We encourage you to submit a nomination!
