The Panora Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Sip and Shop event Friday to help alleviate some of the stress of last-minute holiday shopping. Chamber member Julie Wychoff explains the details of what people can do during the event.

“The main street businesses are really excited about the Sip and Shop. It’s a good opportunity for us to invite customers in later in the day, and each business as always likes to put their own unique twists on what their specials will be, both for sipping and for shopping.”

Between sipping and shopping, a reminder that the Panora Chamber’s fundraising raffle is still selling tickets. Chamber member Stephanie Hummel has details on some of the prizes available.

“We have a New Year’s Eve dinner for two at The Port with a king suite hotel room stay at the Lakeside Inn. There’s also golf for four, including a cart and $25 gift card from Lake Panorama National. There’s also a large YETI cooler donated by chamber businesses with awesome merchandise going in there as well. Any of those three would make a great Christmas gift or even something for you yourself to win.”

Tickets are one for $5, three for $10 and seven for $20. For more information, visit the Panora Chamber of Commerce on Facebook.
