There will be a pause in the Fennimore Bucks giveaway’s until the last week of November. This year’s holiday promotion will be a repeat of the Fall promotion and will run from Small Business Saturday, November 28 thru December 16. Due to Covid the Chamber’s popular Christmas Creations Craft Show will not be held. That doesn’t mean we can’t continue our Small Business Saturday promotions. Shoppers are encouraged to shop at a Fennimore chamber member business places, attach the receipt to the entry form and deposit in the special blue box just outside of the Memorial building or mail to the Chamber at 850 Lincoln Avenue. Weekly drawings will be held every Wednesday and then all entries will be combined for the big $200 Fennimore Bucks drawing on December 17…just in time to use for holiday shopping or entertaining! The Chamber thanks Clare Bank for sponsoring the Chamber’s Holiday Promotion.

Fennimore bucks are like a check that can be spent at more than 120 chamber member businesses. Fennimore bucks are money that stays in our community and makes an economic impact creating jobs and supporting local businesses.

Fennimore Depot Exchange Food Pantry

Are you aware the Fennimore Depot Exchange offers a food pantry? The Depot Exchange uses part of their store income from sales to house a food pantry; they are open two days a month. Some of the food is purchased through Second Harvest; they also rely on donations from individuals or organizations. The staff at the Depot accepts food items by placing them in a container near the front door register area. Non-perishable items or cash donations are appreciated. Some of the food pantry needs include: cream of mushroom soup, tomato soup, carrots, canned fruit, toilet paper, shampoo.

Sign up for Snowmobile Safety Course

Wisconsin is the birthplace of snowmobiling and continues to offer some of the best snowmobiling opportunities you are likely to find, especially in northern Wisconsin. More than 200,000 registered snowmobiles hit Wisconsin’s 25,000 miles of groomed trails each winter, which means safety is an important part of the ride.

Fall is the ideal time to take the first step of preparing for the upcoming snowmobile season by completing the safety course. The safety course seeks to ensure snowmobilers of all ages are safe while they are having fun on the trails. The course is required for operators born on or after Jan. 1, 1985 and who are 12 years of age or older. Snowmobile safety is critical. In 2019, 16 fatal snowmobiling accidents occurred, with the top contributing factors being speed and operator error. The safety course costs $10 and includes six hours of classroom instruction with two optional hours of hands-on instruction or a simulated ride. For those age 16 and older, the course may be completed online.
