Busy weekend ahead! Don't miss out! |
|
Oh, my goodness! There is so much going on this weekend. The trick is going to be how to get to everything. We have tree plantings, we have a health fair and feast, we have barbecue, a concert, grilled cheese, a community conversation and a beer run to support the local American Legion.
Here's the information you need to get caught up in it all!

|
Chamber members, watch for the appearance of a duck in each weekly newsletter and send us an email with your business name describing what makes the duck or ducks unique (HINT: this time, its inside an advertisement for one of the weekend's events) and we will enter you in a monthly drawing for a FREE AD for four weeks in the next month's newsletter.
