As the holiday season draws to a close, the Kenai Chamber of Commerce is concluding two of the holiday’s biggest sources of cheer: the Angel Tree, which provided nearly 100 needy families with gifts, and the chamber’s 13th annual gingerbread house contest.<\/p>\n
Families were able to nominate themselves or other people to receive gifts from the Angel Tree. Community members provided 99 families with gifts on Christmas morning by adopting a family to shop for or donating money to the chamber and letting staff shop for them.<\/p>\n
On Dec. 20, the chamber announced the winners of the gingerbread house contest, which gave participants ages 2 and up nearly a month to create culinary works of art. After voting on the best creations, Kenai residents chose cash prize winners in four age categories.<\/p>\n
The chamber is closed until Jan. 4. To stay informed of upcoming events, visit the chamber’s Facebook page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
