Option 1  - Someone from your team assists in the boom with decorating.
FREE for the first 3 hours, $100 for each additional.  (max is 5 hours in one day per business)

Option 2 - Chamber staff decorates for you (you supply the lights).

Build the skills and mindset to handle chaos, navigate seasonal highs and lows, manage tough customer interactions, and protect your own wellbeing and logistics. The two remaining workshops are interactive, engaging, and packed with practical tools you can use for life. Each session offers a unique focus—designed to complement one another but also valuable on their own—so you can join any workshop without needing to attend all three.
