Jerry Blankers, our Managing Broker & Realtor® recently rented the Chamber Hall for his holiday party. The room was beautiful with the natural lighting and hardwood floors. The Jansen Art Center was very accommodating with buffet tables and chairs and helping us set up sound. Here are a few pictures from Jerry’s event that was held in the Chamber Hall:
