Contact the Chamber at 406-827-4930 or email us at thompsonfallschamber@gmail.com to be a part of this magical week!
THOMPSON FALLS CHAMBER HOLIDAY STROLL: Thursday, December 2, 4-6 p.m.
We invite businesses to stay open until 6 p.m. and welcome the community. Decorate your storefront, offer treats or special discounts for Christmas on Main Street patrons. Carolers will be strolling Main Street. For the kiddos, craft stations will be set up at businesses throughout town. Right now we have The Sanders County Ledger and First Baptist Church. If you would like to offer a craft station, let us know so we can advertise for you! At 6 p.m., the Community Christmas Tree will be lit at Ainsworth Park. Join the Chamber for carols and the tree lighting.
