The River County Chamber of Commerce, located in Newaygo, has announced that its scheduled 2020 Christmas Walk will be moved to a virtual experience.
Due to Michigan Department of Health and Human Services order, the Chamber, through a press release, stated that it is not allowed to have the Christmas Walk they way it is traditional down. The walk was scheduled for Dec. 4.
Instead, the group will do what many have done host a virtual event. The Christmas Walk traditions, including the honorary award, the Christmas tee lighting, Santa holiday greetings, and musical performances will be broadcast on the River County Chamber Facebook book page. The virtual event will be at 6 p.m. Dec. 4.
The Chamber announced to help its local businesses that it has launched the Shop Local, Save Local promotion which includes prize drawings for those who shop at local businesses and restaurants.
