                              celebration of the holiday season in
                              the heart of Oakland County.
WinterFUN Festival 8:30 - 10:30 a.m.
The WinterFUN Festival is a great opportunity for families to come
together to participate in several activities. There is a Gallery of
Ice with live ice carving competition, a petting farm with adorable
animals, live Santa reindeer, s’mores and much more. There is
also a children’s WinterART Center that allows kids to participate
in several different craft projects, get their face painted and more.
Don’t miss out … ALL EVENTS ARE FREE!
Annual Parade 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
The festivities for its 38th annual year will be bigger and better.
There will be over 100 of your favorite costume characters
handing out FREE hugs, beautiful professional floats from The
Parade Company, professional balloons, marching bands, fire
trucks and choreographed dancers all joining together to bring
you a memorable parade. The parade route will begin on Cesar
E. Chavez Ave. at the Oakland Livingston Human (OLHSA) and
continue down Saginaw Street and ends at the Pontiac City
Square (Lot 9).
The Greater Pontiac Host Committee has coordinated and
provided leadership to a Christmas parade in Pontiac since 1981
which, at that time, included one fire truck from the City of Pontiac
and one high school marching band. Today, the 501c3
organization now consists of an Advisory Board of Directors,
Community Partners Committee consisting of Auburn Hills,
Pontiac, Waterford and White Lake, and the Strategic Leadership
Committee, which coordinates all of the fundraising and
organizational needs for all aspects of the Holiday Extravaganza.

     MISSION STATEMENT
      To Preserve and Promote the Vitality
     and Economic Growth of the Business
       Community in the Waterford Area.

                         Message from the President...
                    Thankful and grateful.
                    The month of November is one of my favorites. It
                    is the month of Thanksgiving, and with that comes
                    all the reflection of what and who we are thankful
                    for. It’s a month of counting our blessings and
                    blessing others.
While I am grateful that most people go through this time of reflection
at least on Thanksgiving Day, why not do this every day? I have a journal
that I write in every single night – a grateful journal. What brought pure
joy to me during the day? It could be as simple as a beautiful sunrise
on the way to work, my husband bringing me coffee in the morning, a
coworker wishing me a blessed day. These moments of gratefulness
do not have to be huge.
I am not sure who said this quote, but I think about it every day,
“Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you will realize they were the
big things.”
I know that I am personally grateful to all of you – our Chamber
members, Ambassadors, and Board of Directors. It’s amazing to be
surrounded by such great people who not only work together to
better our community, but also to help each other grow personally
and professionally.
I wish each and every one of you a blessed Thanksgiving and month
of reflection.

Kris Miller, President
