A little social media housekeeping!

A few folks have noticed our new profile pictures, so we wanted to clear up one little thing: the Greater Palmer Chamber of Commerce logo has not changed, nor any of our event logos.

We recently created matching social media profile images for the Palmer Chamber, Friday Fling, Colony Days, and Colony Christmas so our pages have a more consistent look and are easier to recognize online.

These were created in house by Chamber staff using Canva as a simple way to give each page its own identity while still keeping everything connected.

Each page has its own icon, but they all share the same colors and style so you can easily tell they’re part of the Palmer Chamber family.

Our official Chamber logo is still our official Chamber logo. These are simply social media profile images designed to work well in those tiny little circles Facebook and Instagram give us.

Same Chamber. Same events. Same Palmer. Just a little more coordinated online.

And we have to admit… we kind of love seeing the whole family together.

Mother Nature kept us on our toes overnight, and many vendors packed up as a precaution. While vendor participation may be limited today, our food trucks will be here serving up all your favorites.

We'll continue monitoring conditions throughout the day and will share any updates if needed. As always, vendor and patron safety remain our top priority.
