Chamber News

By Jessica Malone

We appreciate all the businesses and individuals that participated in the Broadus Christmas Stroll. Thank you for shopping small and supporting our small town businesses this season! We want to send a special shout out to TRECO and Tracy Thomas for ensuring the community snowflake decorations were up in time. Broadus looked perfectly magical with all the lights and decorations! Congratulations to Gardner & Billing CPAs for winning the Business Christmas Decorating contest with their “Christmas on Gingerbread Lane” theme. Don’t forget the residential contest will be judged on December 12th! Thank you to those that joined the Ugly Sweater Pageant – Laney Williams, Delaney Ruland, Jessica Malone, Brandi Billing, Justin & Megan Smith, Kayleigh Opstedahl, Lacey Robinson, and Novalee Blakeman. Congrats to Delaney Ruland for 1st Place entry and Laney Williams for 2nd Place. Best of luck and gratitude to those that supported the Chamber by purchasing NFR teams at the Calcutta and special thanks to Jim Collins, Jeanne & Rich Sparks and Charlee Kuhbacher for putting on the event.

If you missed the Gracious Space event this week, it’s not too late to participate in our “Big Sky, Big Leadership” series, which will start in January and conclude in June of 2022. During the recent ReImagining Rural gatherings, community members identified a need to motivate, inspire and educate current and upcoming community leaders. This program is a cooperative effort that will provide a practical guide for working better together to build a brighter future for Broadus. For more information, please contact us or the MSU Extension office.

Community cooperation and networking are key parts in our Chamber mission. So we encourage you to reach out if you have a big project, event or business concern for 2022. Help us understand your goals and we’ll connect you if opportunities arise for grants, advertising or cooperative efforts. Make us a resource when it comes to the economic, social and community pulse of Broadus.

Thank you for your support of our organization and we wish you a very Merry Christmas season!
