Spring in South Florida means warm (ha!) weather, an upcoming hurricane season, and an annual tax sale.

This year's disaster preparation sale is June 1-14th. We encourage you to check your supplies ahead of time so you can acquire or replace what you might need during the tax sale period. Many retailers will run sales along with the tax sale.

From Chamber President and CEO Jean McIntyre:

Due to the deterioration of marine conditions, and in the interest of the safety of our boaters and viewers, we have made the difficult decision to postpone tonight’s 61st Annual CHAOS Pompano Beach/Lighthouse Point/Deerfield Beach HOLIDAY BOAT PARADE

This is the longest-running Holiday Boat Parade in the United States, and we will be running the parade Thursday the 21st at 7 PM .

Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for your continued support!
