Rupp said the chamber office move to the more visible location at 110 E. Broadway was of great benefit in terms of visitors to the community being able to find the Chamber of Commerce. She also said that plans were well under way for the annual Kingfisher Christmas downtown parade and fireworks display, which is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 4, with as many as 5,000 attendees anticipated.
