Terrace Floor for re-carpeting the Chamber office!!! Terrace Paint for providing sealant for the stone walls of the Chamber building!!! 206 E. St. Charles Villa Park, IL If you ve got something to say, YELP about it!!! I happened upon this review of the Villa Park Chamber of Commerce in Gamma s Gems page. Don't roll your eyes; don't say 'she should be writing about great places for a martini'; don't say 'this makes no sense; Christmas is months away'. Well, you're going to thank me; have I got some info for you. My folks live near the prairie path and obviously it goes from here, to wherever. We were always charmed by the personally decorated trees along a way that we've walked the dog, jogged, and released frustrations. Well, when my father died recently I went in search of how to reserve a tree for him, in a special spot. It led me to the V.P. C of C. The woman who handles this was so kind and helpful: she lined us up for next year. But that's cuz I didn't know any better. If you're interested, a fresh pine with lights is yours for the decorating for You can also choose a personalized sheet (they laminate it) for your tree; this nice woman sets it up. They go up typically around Turkey Day and come down the week after New Years. Usually, you reserve your tree in September or so. It isn't very often that you can tip your whatever at public servants who unselfishly do things just to make a family happy. What a doll! Member Company Descriptions for Website!
