We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Thank you to everyone that participated in the Broadus Christmas Stroll and who chose to shop locally this season. Your support of small businesses is the gift that gives all year! Elizabeth Gee was the $200 grand prize winner of the Chamber’s Ticket to Who-ville shopping adventure and we appreciate all the businesses that contributed a prize to the Button Dash! Gardner & Billing CPAs won the business decorating contest on the night of the stroll.

Congratulations to the winners of the residential lighting contest who received t-shirts printed by The Daisy Patch! 1st: Johnny & Sue Richards (credit also goes to Elizabeth Gee and Garrett Greslin for helping); 2nd: Rich & Melinda Bieschuevel; 3rd: Elizabeth Gee. Honorable Mention: Ken & Kelly Babb and Most Patriotic: Lyman & Anne Amsden. Thank you Broadus residents for your Christmas spirit!
