On behalf of the Haines Chamber of Commerce board of directors, I would like to send a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make the Christmas events happen this past Saturday! Tammy Piper, and the Visitor Center crew, everyone who participated in the parade, Santa (of course!), Haines Borough Police Department, Haines Volunteer Fire Department, Matt Boron and Martin Peters with the Department of Transportation, Annette Smith and her amazing snow dragon, Tom Morphet (for your encouragement), and especially to Lee Heinmiller for making sure the parade was lined up perfectly!  I apologize for the communication gaps and glitches. But, as it always does, everything worked out perfectly! Thank you to everyone, and happy holidays.
