Saratoga/Platte Valley Chamber of Commerce raises more than $40,000 at 21st Annual Festival of the Trees

The Saratoga/Platte Valley Chamber of Commerce saw a historic 244 participants during the 21st Annual Festival of the Trees on December 6. The fundraiser, which is held to support a selected non-profit in the Platte Valley, raised $44,475—before expenses—for Carbon County Search and Rescue - East Division.

The total number came from both auction items and table purchases for the event. Chamber CEO Amanda Knotwell and Chamber Boardmember Karen Youngberg presented a check for $6,500 to Carbon County Search and Rescue - East Division on December 11. The funds raised will go towards equipment and training for the non-profit entity.
