Since 2018, the Chamber has invested over $40,000 into our community’s holiday lights. We want to thank these partners who have contributed both financially and in-kind over these years: The Connie & Amanda Team: Re/Max Affiliates, The Goldfinch Solar Project, The Jingle Bell Run, Renoux Builders, Northside Diner, Washington County Riverboat Foundation, City of Washington, Washington Iowa Betterment Foundation, Greiner Buildings, Paneless Windows and BW Construction. These businesses are in addition to the sponsors of our Tour of Homes, which is the primary fundraiser for our holiday lighting season. We have approximately 5,500 linear feet of lighting in the downtown area and have been expanding and improving the holiday lights in our community by converting and replacing the strands to LED bulbs. In addition to the lights lining the rooftops downtown, we have upgraded the fountain and snowflake lights to LED and we have added lights on approximately 15 new buildings.
