Message from Ponca City Area Chamber of Commerce

by RICH CANTILLON

Thank you for making our Santa Buck Giveaway a huge success. We had the most participants ever at 107 and over a million tickets distributed. Thank you for shopping local and shopping Ponca First!

Our Chamber is thankful for the support we received this year. It has been a difficult year for many people but we did accomplish a lot with your support.

We had to rethink our year starting in March and it, at times, has been very challenging. I’m so proud of my staff and our leadership team for guiding us through this difficult period. We have all experienced things we never thought we would have too. Wearing masks, lock downs, not being with family when they were dying? It has been tough. However, I feel we, as a whole, did it with patience, grace and kindness.

We are blessed to call Ponca City our home and we live and work in an awesome state. We are about to go in to a new year. We have high hopes and we do know 2021 will be brighter and hopefully happier for all of us. I see the light at the end of the tunnel!
