What's on the agenda?

Creative Placemaking Presentation

Blandin Foundation has granted funds to Oldenburg Arts and Cultural Community (OACC) to engage local creatives in strengthening our ties to each other and our community.

Come to the Chamber meeting on Tuesday December 17 at noon to learn more about how other rural communities use 'creative placemaking' to strengthen their community's vitality. And how we can deploy our creativity and our love for this beautiful place and our neighbors can support this place we call home.

Special Musical Guest

Abrianna Schmidt will delight us with festive Christmas songs and her original hit, "Small Town Girl," inspired by Carlton. You’ll remember her as last year’s Grand Marshal of the Carlton Daze Parade!

Holiday Jingle Bingo

Spread Warmth and Joy This Season & Be Entered into a Drawing!

Join us in making a difference! Bring hats, mittens, or toys to the luncheon, and don’t forget to check your closets for gently used coats or winter gear—adult and children’s sizes are greatly needed and appreciated. It’s the perfect chance to declutter and give back at the same time!

Special Need: Kids aged 10 and older often get overlooked in toy drives. If you can, please consider donating a $10-15 gift card (Target, Walmart, Maurice's, L&M, etc.) or a gift specifically for older kids.

These thoughtful contributions would mean so much!

Whether it’s a warm coat, cozy mittens, or a gift to bring joy, your kindness can help brighten someone’s holiday. Let’s come together and see how much we can collect—every contribution makes a difference!

Thank you for helping spread holiday cheer!

Thank you to our sponsors!

Porch pots, poinsettias, and holiday cacti are ready for you at The Green House!

Two of our Chamber Board members got into the holiday spirit by making beautiful Christmas porch planters at the Greenhouse in Carlton! These classes are such a blast, and the perfect way to add festive cheer to your home. Be sure to keep an eye out for their upcoming workshops—you won’t want to miss the fun!

Let’s show them some love this holiday season by helping them reach 1,000 followers on Facebook! They’re so close, and with your support, we can make it happen. Give them the gift of a like, share their page, and spread the word about this local gem!

Give them a follow here…The Greenhouse, Carlton MN!
