Friday, Dec. 6, 3:30 – 5 p.m., Village Green:

It’s that time of year again when the Chamber helps put on the tree lighting festivities at the Village Green.  It’s all happening this Friday, December 6 (3:30 pm – 5 pm).  We offer hot apple cider, and hope our members can help us with a collection of baked goodies.

If you would like to help out and be a Holiday Angel with your donated treat …. Just reply back to us HERE.  We will be collecting them on Thursday, December 5 & Friday, December 6 (at the office), or you can drop off at the Green on Friday starting at 3 pm.

Our thanks in advance for your baking expertise!  Your treats are appreciated by the kids & families at the event.  Just email us or call to sign up for the treats.  For many years Perry Pugh was our tree lighting expert, but this year the Chamber thanks OPALCO for its valuable assistance with that task.

Shop the Rock begins Friday!

Kick off your holiday shopping this coming weekend … many Eastsound shops will be open until 7 pm on Friday, offering special deals and discounts, as well as refreshments for shoppers!
