The weekly Grant County Chamber Of Commerce’s “Chamber Coffee” returned this past Friday after taking a week off for Thanksgiving. Host for the weekly gathering was American Implement.
The smaller-than-usual crowd was treated to snacks provided by the business and a brief presentation by American Implement Sales Manager Jamie Fraser.
Fraser thanked those in attendance as well as the Chamber for the service it provides for the community. Fraser went on to introduce his staff in attendance, as well as show off the Christmas decorations in the store.
“Our parts team does an awesome job setting up this presentation every year for the holidays,” Fraser said. “We’re promoting some good sales, don’t forget about American Implement if you’re looking for last-minute Christmas, birthday gift or anything. You don’t (have to) drive to Garden or go through Amazon, we’re right here.”
Fraser turned it back over to Hauser, who gave her weekly update of upcoming events.
“I always love coming out (to American Implement) at Christmastime, it’s always a great place to pick up some gifts,” Hauser said.
