A very HAPPY 2019 NEW YEAR and big THANKS goes out to all the Wallis Christmas Decoration Sponsors and Parade participants, helping to spread the spirit of Christmas! We’ve received a lot of positive feedback with some just enjoying the sight while passing though Wallis.
Now it’s a fresh New Year and time to consider joining or refreshing your Wallis Chamber
