The 32nd annual arrival of Santa and the<br />
Glows parade and festivities was held Friday November<br />
18. Santa, Mrs. Claus and one of their elves arrived<br />
safe and sound from the North Pole and greeted everyone<br />
at the Fairmont airport.<br />
Area residents and visitors came to witness the<br />
spectacular parade which started at Downtown Plaza<br />
and ended at Lincoln Park There wer numerous pre<br />
and post-parade festivities throughout our community.<br />
Even without fresh snow, the lights were glowing and spirits<br />
were festive with spectators from near and far lining<br />
the streets along the entire parade route.<br />
Local businesses and organizations pulled out all<br />
the stops again this year decorating their floats with lights,<br />
greenery and other decor as they delivered candy, gifts and<br />
good cheer to the eager children, parents and residents lining<br />
the streets.<br />
Our panel of judges had a difficult time making<br />
their selections for top float in each of three categories and<br />
after careful consideration of all the incredible entries, the<br />
following award winners were chosen. Commercial<br />
Float Award was given<br />
to C & B Implement<br />
of Truman. Non-<br />
Commercial Float<br />
Award was awarded to<br />
United Hospital District<br />
- Hospice. The Glowing<br />
Float Award went<br />
to the City of Fairmont<br />
- Public Utilities who graciously re gifted their prize<br />
to Heavens Table Food Shelf. Congratulations to each of<br />
our <strong>2022</strong> Glows Parade Float Award winners! They each<br />
received $50.00 in Chamber Bucks.<br />
Thank you to everyone who entered the parade<br />
and helping to make Fairmont glow during this event and<br />
throughout the Holiday season! Thanks also to the City of<br />
Fairmont; Street, Fire and Police Departments, the Fairmont<br />
Municipal Airport, The Fairmont Photo Press for<br />
some photos, our parade judges, and all of the volunteers<br />
and spectators who continue to make this a memorable<br />
event year after year! The Glows Festival would not be<br />
possible without the support we receive from each of you<br />
and from the members of our great community. More<br />

A season of Giving<br />
Kandi Menne: Fairmont Area Chamber of Commerce President<br />
"To say the past month<br />
has been a whirlwind is an<br />
understatement." But, its been fun!<br />
We are happy to welcome<br />
Sydney Andrews to the Fairmont<br />
Area Chamber of Commerce as the<br />
new Office Manager and Director<br />
of Communications. By the time<br />
this goes to print Sydney will have just started. She<br />
is excited to learn all things "Chamber" it will take<br />
some time for her to learn everything but she is up<br />
for the task! This will eventually free up more of<br />
my time to better tackle the duties of the Chamber<br />
President. We welcome Sydney and will share a bit<br />
more about her next month.<br />
In November we held our second Bureau<br />
14 at the new starting time of 5:15 p.m. Everyone<br />
in attendance was in agreement that the earlier<br />
start time is a good change.<br />
<strong>December</strong> meeting will start<br />
at 5:15 and will be a combined<br />
Bureau 14, Agri Business and<br />
Young Professionals meeting<br />
with our local legislatures invited<br />
as the guest speakers.<br />
We also held the Glows Parade with over 50<br />
entries which encompassed 100's of walkers, 1,000 of<br />
spectators were not fazed by the brisk temperatures<br />
and lined the streets to be wowed by the glowing<br />
floats. We are extremely pleased to kick off the<br />
Fairmont area holiday festivities with the Santa Fly<br />
in and the parade.<br />
Fairmont downtown businesses have again<br />
banded together to host Merry and Bright on Friday<br />
<strong>December</strong> 2 from 5:00 - 9:00. Save time, money and<br />
gas, shop local and take advantage of their instore<br />
specials and refreshments.<br />
