Chamber members discuss stroll, present awards

At their General Meeting Monday afternoon, members of the Whitehall Chamber of Commerce discussed the 2016 Christmas Stroll.

Chamber member Jan Thorne said she talked with several vendors, and they told her they had a good day of sales.

Member Laurel Ovitt said she had a table at the Vendor Market and her sales also went well.

Members also discussed the inaugural Whitehall Christmas Stroll Scavenger Hunt. Thorne said this was their first time conducting the event, and in the future it could be a way to get people into local businesses. Member Nick Jenkins said the scavenger hunt could be a fun thing for people to come to Whitehall and do, and something that stands out with the local Christmas Stroll.

RECOGNITION

One local business and two members were recognized for their outstanding commitment and service to the community.

The Corner Store was named the Chamber's Business of the Year, Kristi Wilson was awarded the Chamber Champion Award, and Jim Rabenstein was recognized as the Volunteer of the Year.
