Over 100 business people from throughout the Hazleton Area turned out for the eleventh annual Holiday Mixer sponsored by the Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce and its Downtown Committee yesterday at the new Citiscape lobby in the Markle Building. The Cyber Calf, located in the Markle Building, and chamber member, catered the event. “One of the goals of the Chamber is to provide networking opportunities for our members, and we are happy to see that a record number of individuals from our affiliated organizations have taken part in this holiday event,” said President Donna Palermo. Palermo noted that the mixer also helps to showcase Downtown Businesses. “It brings people Downtown, gives them a glimpse of the hundreds of businesses located in this area of the city, and hopefully encourages consumer spending.” The Chamber’s Mixer marked the second holiday event of the Holiday Season for Center City Hazleton. On Saturday, December 2nd, Santa and Mrs. Claus visited the Citiscape Lobby in the Markle Building and had pictures taken with over 125 children. “We are most grateful to the Hayden Family for hosting this year’s event and helping to make this one of the best social events we have held,” Palermo said. With the new spirit of cooperation among Downtown business owners, a progressive and supportive mayor, and forward thinking developers, we feel sure that Downtown Hazleton has a bright and exciting future, and are happy to be involved in that evolution.” The Mixer highlighted the new Citiscape Lobby in the Markle Building and was preceded by a special ribbon cutting ceremony officially opening the new lobby. The CAN DO Community Christmas at the J.J. Ferrara Philharmonic Center followed the Chamber’s Mixer.
