2020 Christmas Cards

Ted Nicholson has done it again, and captured Merrill!  We have named this card "A Merrill Christmas Salute."  It is a salute to everyone for keeping Merrill moving throughout COVID-19.  This would be our 10th Annual Christmas Card created by Ted.  The Chamber office will be selling the cards and prints.  Plus, we will have a variety pack of cards that will have 2016 through 2020.  Cards and Prints could be available as early as November 11th, but should be here by November 18th.  

We do have some of the past years available, stop in and see what we have.
