This summer, the Greater Newburyport Chamber of Commerce is providing two event series to promote our awesome town, our fantastic retailers, and our favorite people - our residents.  
 
Throughout the summer, these events have pretty amazing advantages for everyone in the community. For residents, they are a chance to create memories with neighbors and family; for retailers, they are an opportunity to showcase and sell their unique products; for businesses, it is a chance to gain exposure, visibility, and appreciation.
 
"Appreciation" might sound odd at first glance, but think of it this way: Watching a movie on a big screen in front of a beautiful harbor is a one-of-a-kind experience that is only made possible by sponsors.
 
These events are a great chance to let people know that you are invested in Greater Newburyport, and the experiences of those who live here.
 
Last Thursday on Music in Market Square night, Oregano Pizzeria and Ristorante served their delicious pizza for onlookers downtown and definitely gained a few fan favorites. 
 
Sponsorship opportunities are available for less than you might think! Please contact Ann Ormond to get the conversation going.
