Chamber to host Holiday Parade Viewing Party

The Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce will host its second Holiday Parade Viewing Party presented by IncredibleBank from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, December 5. This family-friendly event is complimentary for members of the Chamber and their children. The Chamber’s train depot headquarters will offer a unique vantage point along the parade route to both see the floats and warm-up indoors or in a heated tent.
