Before and after the parade, the chamber will host a Christmas open house around the city, with more than a dozen businesses participating and many offering specials and sale items.
At each participating business, there will be punch cards to pick up. Consumers will take their card to each participating business they visit and receive punches or marks. At the end of the day, they will leave their card with the last business they visit and the following week will be entered into a drawing for prizes donated by the businesses.
