One of the Chamber’s most popular events of the year! The Merry Merchant Munch provides opportunities for local businesses to jumpstart the holiday shopping season by inviting customers to their open houses with treats, decorations and holiday spirit. An Official MMM Guide is distributed to all addresses in the Chugiak-Eagle River area. Businesses gain recognition and prizes for various categories of décor, treats, and holiday spirit. Community participants may compete in a Gingerbread Contest and win prizes for visiting our local stores with their “munch map”.
