Dear Chamber Members,

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving surrounded by family, friends, and all the joys of the season. As we reflect on yesterday, I want to express my gratitude for each of you and the role you play in making our community vibrant and strong. Your dedication, hard work, and passion are what make our local businesses so extraordinary.

As we move into the holiday shopping season, I encourage you not only to join us in celebrating Small Business Saturday tomorrow, November 30th, but also continue supporting our local businesses throughout the entire season. This is a fantastic opportunity to support the heart of our community—our small businesses. Whether it’s grabbing a coffee at a local coffee shop, picking up a unique flower arrangement at a green house, dining at a family-owned restaurant, or purchasing gift cards at one of our many amazing businesses, your support makes a meaningful difference.

I’d also like to extend a heartfelt "Thank You!" to Chub Lake Tree Farm for generously donating two beautiful Christmas trees to the Carlton Chamber of Commerce. These trees are now proudly displayed at the center of town, adding festive cheer for all to enjoy. A big thank you as well to the Carlton Lions Club for setting them up and decorating them so beautifully. Your efforts bring holiday magic to our community, and we are so grateful for your generosity and hard work.

Let’s come together to show our appreciation for the businesses that make our community special. Encourage your friends, families, and neighbors to shop local and spread the word about the amazing options we have right here in Carlton and our surrounding communities.

Thank you for all you do to make our chamber and our community thrive. Let’s make this Small Business Saturday and the entire holiday shopping season one to remember!

Warm regards,
Shanna Wolf
Chamber President / Commercial Portfolio Manager at Woodlands National Bank
