Rockport Chamber Half Price Sale

All Rockporters are invited to and encouraged to attend the Rockport Chamber of Commerce’s annual Holiday Party and Half Price Sale at the Fish Shack Restaurant on Tuesday, December 6, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. This annual event is free and all are welcome.  This is a delightful occasion to gather with friends and colleagues, where we take the opportunity to thank the Rockport community, Chamber members, and our volunteers for their support of the Chamber and our community over the past year.  The half-price sale is also a fun way to shop for great gifts while helping to raise funds in support Christmas in Rockport. It is anticipated that more than fifty items worth over $3000 in total, all of which are being donated by Rockport’s business community, will be available for purchase at half of their retail value.  Some additional items will be auctioned off to the highest bidder that evening.  Also, Rockport artisan Leslie Wind once again will be at the party, this year crafting ornaments and cocoa stirrers and offering them for sale at $5 and $10 apiece. All proceeds from the half-price sale, including 100% of the sales of Leslie Wind’s creations, will be used to help support programming and defray expenses for this year’s Christmas in Rockport events.   The Rockport Holiday Calendar and Guide is now available online at ChristmasinRockport.com  and throughout the Rockport community, filled with listings of the season’s events in Rockport throughout December. 

Wait til the girls find him!
