As your Chamber comes up for air from a very busy September, "thank you’s" are in store for the many attendees at our many events. The community turned out for a wonderful Labor Day concert by the Can- ton Symphony on the steps of City Hall, our small businesses learned what they can access from the Census Bureau at our QC Luncheon, duffers hit the links at the an- nual golf outing and 250 chocolate-lovers

checked out the businesses on Main Street at the 2nd Annual Chocolate Walk. The Chamber appreciates the support of our members, sponsors and the community for making September 2019 one to remember!
