Chamber Calendar

In conjunction with Carthage Area Hospital and the Carthage Area Hospital Auxiliary, the Chamber puts together a gift basket of local business donations to welcome the first baby of each New Year at Carthage Area Hospital.

Every February, the community gathers for sleigh rides, cardboard sled races, snowmobile rides, food, music, and more at Carthage Recreational Park in celebration of outdoor winter fun. The event is typically held on the 2nd Saturday of February. Click the links above for more info and event registration forms.
