Greetings Once Again, Well we are almost through winter and in just a few weeks the birds will be singing and spring will be signing back in. Although it has been a particularly cold if not freezing season the snow hasn’t been all that bad as of late January. Hopefully I didn’t speak to soon…if […]

Greetings of the Season, Well folks just like that here we are once again welcoming in “the most wonderful time of the year.” As we close out another year with the hustle and bustle of holiday planning, shopping, cooking and hosting please remember to utilize all of our chamber member services wherever possible.  You can […]

Greetings of the Season, Well its Harvest time in Holbrook once again as every leaf is indeed turning. The clocks have now been set-back and the days are shorter and nights are most certainly longer. Just around the corner is truly one of the best holidays if not the best of all…Thanksgiving! Every proud American […]

Greetings, Well winter is almost halfway over and although it’s not quite spring, warm weather fans like me are probably wishing for a cloudy day on February 2nd  (Ground Hog Day).
