The C4 Report From the City of Central Chamber of Commerce
Last week we held the 26th Annual Christmas in Central Festival and Parade. There were some changes this year in scheduling and in the parade route. The Community of Central responded cooperatively and positively to the change and a great weekend was had by all!
You can not pull off an event like this without the assistance of several people and various organizations. So this week’s article is a big thank you to these people!
