💚 Chamber Holiday Party: A Whoville Celebration! Step into Whoville and celebrate the season Chamber style! Join us on Thursday, December 11 at 5 PM at Whoville (400 Brown Street) for an evening of feasting, laughter, and a little Grinchy fun! This year’s theme — “How the Chamber Stole Christmas!” — promises a night right out of Dr. Seuss’s storybook. Expect twinkling lights, merry bites, and maybe even a few mischievous appearances from the Grinch himself. But don’t worry—our very own Cindy-Lou Whos (Dora Hotel and the Chamber) are leading the way to make sure hearts grow three sizes before the night is through! Enjoy delicious food and drink, playful activities, and plenty of networking with fellow Whos from near and far. Whether you’re a Max at heart, a Cindy-Lou full of cheer, or a Grinch in need of some holiday spirit, there’s a place for you in Whoville. So don your festive best, bring your holiday who-tastic energy, and join us as we celebrate community, connection, and the joy that makes the Chamber’s heart grow bigger every year!
