Some local news: The Adams County Chamber of Commerce invites you to their Christmas Market on Saturday, November 29 from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. — right in time for Small Business Saturday!

Come spend the day shopping local vendors, grabbing something tasty from food trucks, and getting into the holiday spirit. It’s the perfect way to support small businesses and find unique gifts you won’t see anywhere else.

When the market wraps up, stick around for the West Union Lions Club Christmas Tree Lighting and enjoy horse-drawn carriage rides, with pick-up starting at the Adams County Training & Business Center.

Sign up here to be part of this year’s Christmas Market:
