Celebrating the Heart of Oxford Hills: John Williams & the Oxford Hills Chamber of Commerce

Let us tell you a little bit about Oxford Hills’ best friend — John the legend. Not to be confused with John Legend, but our very own John Williams, President of the Oxford Hills Chamber of Commerce.

The Oxford Hills Chamber of Commerce does so much for our community, yet much of their impact often happens quietly behind the scenes. The Chamber’s board members and volunteers generously donate their time to support local businesses, nonprofits, and community initiatives that keep Oxford Hills thriving.

Supporting Nonprofits & Giving Back From the Very Start

From supporting Right Start from the very beginning, to giving back through Christmas for Kids & Teens, to raising funds for McLaughlin Garden through beloved holiday traditions — the Chamber’s commitment to giving back runs deep.

These efforts don’t just help organizations; they strengthen families, support children, and uplift the entire Oxford Hills region.

Preserving Oxford Hills Traditions & Creating Community Connection

The Oxford Hills Chamber of Commerce is also responsible for organizing some of our area’s most cherished and well-known events, including:

  • 🎄 The largest Christmas parade in Maine, a tradition for over 45 years
  • 🎄 The Oxford Hills Festival of Trees, recently headed into its 14th year
  • 🎄 Countless community events that bring joy, connection, and small-town pride to Oxford Hills

These events don’t just create memories — they bring people together, spotlight local businesses, and generate meaningful support for nonprofit organizations across the region.

Growing Events to Match a Growing Community

Wheelers Insurance was proud to take part in the biggest Christmas parade in the state of Maine and the 14th Annual Festival of Trees, now held at a new, larger location to accommodate the incredible growth this event has seen over the years.

This year’s Festival of Trees will once again benefit McLaughlin Garden and Right Start, while showcasing the generosity and creativity of local businesses that continue to give back to the Oxford Hills community.

Proud to Stand With the Oxford Hills Chamber

At Wheelers Insurance, we are proud members of the Oxford Hills Chamber of Commerce and deeply grateful for the leadership of John Williams and the dedication of the Chamber’s volunteers. Their work strengthens our local economy, supports nonprofits, and helps preserve the traditions that make Oxford Hills such a special place to live and work.

Supporting local businesses is what helps our community thrive — and the Oxford Hills Chamber of Commerce plays a vital role in making that possible every single day.

Let’s make sure their efforts never go unseen. 💙
