Cocoa, Cookies, and Commerce
We’re spinning Support Local November a little differently in 2026:
Cookies, Cocoa, and Commerce will be open houses at businesses who sponsor. Those businesses will supply cookies or cocoa and stamp passports for people stopping by over December 4 and 5, 2026. Passport prizes will be drawn on December 8.
The community will also vote for their favorite local organization in categories like:
- 🎄 Best Holiday Decorations – The most festive and beautifully decorated business.
- ☕ Best Cocoa – The fan-favorite hot cocoa (classic or creative!).
- 🍪 Best Holiday Treat – The best cookies, sweets, or festive snack.
- ✨ Best Holiday Spirit – Awarded to the business with the friendliest, most cheerful, and welcoming team.
- 🎁 Most Festive Experience – Recognizes the overall holiday atmosphere, activities, music, and customer experience.
- ⭐ Community Favorite (or People's Choice Award) – The business that visitors enjoyed the most overall.
