The Greater Taylorville Chamber Of Commerce is turning its attention to forthcoming festivities.  With Halloween around the corner and the December holidays thereafter, they are working with member businesses to develop and promote special sales and offers as well as other fun events.  The Chamber is also launching a new initiative to incentivize shopping local first. 

The first Halloween-related event is tonight; Wright’s Furniture in Taylorville is hosting a trunk-or-treat.  Chamber Board President Krystal Baker says the following week is filled with other fun activities for people of all ages.

The Chamber is rolling out special gift certificates which can be used at any member business.  The goal is to encourage people to support the small businesses in town. 

The Business After Hours sessions continue as well.  The Hart Media Group will host the next such event on November 12.

GTCC can now boast three new members.  They include Dr. Dreas Softwave Therapy, Windell Surveying, and realtor Julie Mayer.
