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