Tuesday: The Chamber was very fortunate to welcome two dozen 7th and 8th grade students from Clinton Christian Academy to the Elite Laundry location to rebulb the snowflakes you will see up and down 2nd and Ohio streets and around the square once again this year. Elite Laundry stores these snowflakes at their facility and lets us invade their space for this activity once a year. These CCA students are helping to make these snowflakes look beautiful. Evergy and Jerry’s Pest Management will put the snowflakes up in early Nov.
THANKS TO EVERYONE!
Thursday: The freshman class from CCA helped finish rebulbing the snowflakes today. A huge thanks to Mr. Neal! He fixed six of our old large snowflakes (electrical work) so they can now be displayed this Christmas season.
Thanks once again to CCA for all their work and Elite Laundry for a place to accomplish this work.
