We are compiling a comprehensive community calendar for October to December, to be printed and distributed throughout local businesses and town. This calendar will feature sports, events, activities, and more. To include your event or advertise your business,please submit your details via message. Thank you!

**Since this is a new idea we will not charge for advertising spots until possibly January. Chamber members will have first priority for business advertising on the back of the calendar but we will do our best to fit everyone in.**
