Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce🎄 DON’T WAIT! MERRY MERCHANTS & MUNCH IS COMING… AND YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS TO BE PART OF THE MAGIC! 🎅
Last year, Merry Merchants & Munch generated an incredible $727,000 in local spending in just FOUR WEEKS! And this year, we're ready to make the magic even BIGGER! When you sign up as a participating business, you're getting so much more than a holiday shopping promotion.
You'll receive advertising in the Ketchikan Daily News and The Local Paper, radio promotion on KFMJ, KTKN, and Gateway Country, festive posters for your business, customer entry tickets, and plenty of community-wide excitement! It's a fantastic opportunity to bring shoppers through your doors, keep dollars circulating locally, and remind everyone why shopping and dining in Ketchikan is something worth celebrating!
🥁 AND NOW… DRUMROLL, PLEASE! WE HEARD YOU LAST YEAR! 🥁 This year, we're introducing a BRAND-NEW digital option! Customers who would rather skip the traditional paper punch cards can scan their receipts right from their phones to enter! That's right—more convenience, more ways to participate, and more holiday fun for everyone!
🎁 But here's the catch: DON'T WAIT TO SIGN UP! Merry Merchants & Munch, proudly sponsored by Alaska Airlines, kicks off Thanksgiving week, but we need our participating businesses registered WELL before then so we can get you included in all that wonderful advertising and promotion.
🎄 Sign up TODAY at www.ketchikanchamber.com! Don't be the business watching the holiday magic happen from the sidelines. Be part of the reason Ketchikan shops local! ❤️

Ted Ferry Civic CenterWe are proud to celebrate the opening of this important new Ketchikan Indian Community project, Yee gu.aa yax x'wán, a Permanent Supportive Housing community.
This project has been a long time in the making and represents the hard work, vision, and perseverance of Chamber Member Ketchikan Indian Community, along with the many partners who helped bring it to life. Their dedication to meeting real community needs deserves to be recognized and applauded.
This new facility will serve an important role in our community by providing supportive housing and helping address critical needs with compassion, purpose, and care. It is a meaningful investment in people and in the future of Ketchikan.
Congratulations to KIC and all involved on this significant milestone. We are grateful for your commitment to making our community stronger.
