The Greater Palmer Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors meets on the second Thursday of each month at 8:00 AM, unless otherwise scheduled. These meetings provide an opportunity for Chamber leadership to review organizational business, discuss upcoming events and initiatives, and work together to support the Chamber’s mission of promoting and advancing the Palmer business community.

The Mat-Su Trails and Parks Foundation, in collaboration with Revel and more than a dozen local businesses and nonprofits, will host the second annual Frost Fest: Winter Resource Expo on Saturday, Oct. 4, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Palmer Train Depot.

The free event connects community members with winter programs, events and scholarship opportunities designed to encourage outdoor recreation.

Highlights include:

• Information tables with local organizations sharing resources on winter recreation, trails and more.

• Interactive activities for all ages.

• Gear demos on ice fishing, cross-country skiing and fat biking.

• Door prizes and giveaways from local businesses and nonprofits.

“Winter in the Mat-Su can feel long and challenging, but it’s also a season full of opportunity,” said Taylor Raftery with the Mat-Su Trails and Parks Foundation. “Frost Fest is about bringing people together, making sure families know what resources are available, and celebrating the strength and creativity of our community.”
