AUBURN – The Androscoggin County Chamber of Commerce’s Business After Hours will be held at Lost Valley on Thursday, Dec. 16, from 5 to 7 p.m. The event will help celebrate the opening of Lost Valley’s 44th ski season and allow Chamber members to meet the ski area’s owners.

Members are being asked to bring an unwrapped gift for a child age 5 or under. The Chamber, in collaboration with the Androscoggin County Head Start program and Advocates for Children, will be collecting items for children in our community who are in need this holiday season. Representatives from Head Start and Advocates for Children will be on hand to collect the donations and thank Chamber members.

A cash bar and buffet will be offered, as well as live snow-making demonstrations and $1,700 in give-aways.
