Christmas Decoration Exchange
The spirit of Christmas and the heart of El Dorado truly shone brightly during the Chamber’s annual Christmas Decoration Exchange. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we had an abundance of beautiful new and gently used decorations available for those who might not otherwise experience the joy of a fully decorated holiday season. It’s a wonderful reminder of how fortunate many of us are and an opportunity to share that joy with others who need it most.
Looking ahead to 2025, it’s never too early to start thinking about items you can donate for next year’s exchange, and we’ll have sponsorship opportunities that will go towards helping children in need next year! Keep your eyes and ears open for more information.
Love Local, Shop Small
Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the heartbeat of our communities. Two-thirds of every dollar spent at a small business goes back into your community. Your dollars make a BIG difference in your own backyard and this holiday season, there is no gift more precious a small business can receive than your support. The SBA urges all Americans to come together and support the small business owners who make our economy run. By shopping, dining, and entertaining small, we can ensure that the businesses we love succeed into the future. So, from all of us to all of you, happy shopping!
