Local holiday events and activities, as well as local holiday gift ideas, can all be found at the Chamber's website www.santamaria.com. Morris, President/CEO of the Santa Maria Chamber. “Many of our local businesses have created new ways to engage with their customers, from direct online ordering to curb-side delivery, in order to provide safe and convenient options for shopping local. Supporting our local businesses not only helps those who have been hit hard by the pandemic this year, it also means we’re keeping money local to support our own community.” If you're looking for fun, festive holiday
activities, the Chamber has a page set up on their website highlighting different local holiday events you can enjoy. Information can be found at santamaria.com/holidayevents-and-activities. While the holidays look different this year, the Chamber hopes the community will continue to shop at our local businesses at a time where they need the support more than ever. Details on the “Shop Local Selfie Contest” and “Shop on Us!” campaigns, including
how to enter, can be found at santamaria. com/shop-local-win. For holiday gift ideas, check out the Chamber’s Holiday Gift Guide at santamaria.com/SMV-Holiday-GiftGuide.
