this year. All money raised during the Membership Bottle Auction
goes to the Chamber's Shop Local Ad Campaign and in support of Shop
Small Business Saturday. This is a fun auction promoting member
businesses to other members. Participating members donate a bottle
decorated in a way that no one can tell what it contains. The bottle
is related in some way to their business. No one knows what each
bottle contains until after it is won.
