CHAMBER EDC NEWS | CONNECTION

WELCOME TO THE ON THIS DAY OF CHAMBER EDC, MARY! CHRISTMAS, THE CHAMBER EDC I was born and raised in Bismarck, though my family GAVE TO ME… roots span the entire USA. The 12 Tastes of Christmas! Join the Chamber EDC for our BRAND-NEW holiday event that is sure to get everyone in the holiday “spirits!”

From a young age, I had a sense of adventure instilled in me, and the more of the world I traveled, the more I grew to love the community I called home. Bismarck-Mandan is such a special place, and I am thrilled to have a part in making it even better! I am a people-person, who thrives on collaboration and co-operation.

I am excited to grow the workforce in BisMan through community engagement and outreach in my position as the Workforce Marketing Specialist. I believe that people don’t just want to have a job, they want to have a life, and I hope to show the whole world the wonderful life they could have here. In my free time, I am a reader (with a passion for Stephen King novels), a coffee junkie, runner, hiker, kayaker, and generally busy person. I love the variety of activities available right beyond my front door and appreciate that there are so many unique, local events that keep me on my toes! My husband, our three dogs and our cat are my partners in every adventure and new challenge. They also help me remember to take a breather every now-and-then!

On Thursday, December 9th, guests will have the opportunity to network and spread holiday cheer while taste-testing holiday-inspired cocktails, wine, beer, spirits, and more! Local distributors and breweries will each have their own offerings for you to try, alongside free hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. So, come along as we sample the best food and drink that Bismarck-Mandan has to offer, all while enjoying one of Bismarck-Mandan’s best views from the Bismarck State College National Energy Center of Excellence (4th Floor, Bavendick Stateroom). Registration will take place from 4:30pm to 5:00pm, with the event to follow from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. Live holiday music, along with great food, drinks, and company will make this event well worth the $25-member discounted admission.
