Marcy Brandt, Executive Director of the Chamber states, “Considering that Minden has such a spectacular tradition in our amazing Christmas light display and Christmas pageant, we simply want to use those strengths and build on them. In creating ‘Christmas Traditions,’ the Chamber intended to give people another reason to come to Minden so that they could fully enjoy and appreciate what we have to offer at this time of year. Having grown up in Minden, I can remember many years where our downtown square was just packed with people during the Christmas season. It is our hope at the Chamber to keep that kind of Christmas spirit alive and well in Minden for many more years to come.”
