Christmas in Cottage Grove 
Last Saturday we kicked off another season of “Christmas in Cottage Grove,” which included a Breakfast with Santa at the South Lane County Fire Station, the Jingle Bell Run/Walk, the South Valley Holiday Farmer’s Market in the Armory, the tree lighting ceremony, a scavenger hunt in the Historic District, lots of shopping and store specials at local businesses, a Christmas block party with hayrides & caroling by the Faith Center, Dr. Snapp’s Holiday House Bazaar, a stained glass display at the Cottage Grove Museum and of course… Pictures with Santa at City Hall.  This special day of events signifies the start of a wonderful time of year in Cottage Grove.  

Christmas in Cottage Grove continues to be one of our town’s best signature events.  Unlike Black Friday though, it doesn’t end after just one day.  There are as many opportunities for a businesses to prosper as your imagination can come up with.  Most importantly though, it’s an opportunity to bring our community together to share, laugh, visit, give thanks, reminisce and celebrate whatever is important to each of us at this time of year.   One behalf of the Cottage Grove Area Chamber of Commerce, we sincerely hope you have a safe and happy holiday season and we wish you the best in 2018!

***Christmas in Cottage Grove is organized each year through collaboration among the Cottage Grove Chamber of Commerce, the Main Street Program, the Cottage Grove Faith Center, the City of Cottage Grove and many others.  Supporting sponsors of this year’s event are: Pacific Power, The Cottage Grove Sentinel, EPUD, Lane Electric, South Lane Fire & Rescue, Walmart and EBID. 
Throughout the Holiday season and all year long....... “Think Local Shop Cottage Grove” 
As a chamber we strive to educate the community of the value of supporting our local merchants.  The Gift Certificate program is one way we encourage shopping local. Purpose:  
1. Promote shopping at CG Chamber Member businesses.  
2.  Support chamber members with dollars spent in Cottage Grove.
