Dear Chamber Members,
It finally feels like summer, I hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather. We start out the month with the Biggest Fireworks Show in the area. Grafton’s Holidaze celebration is on Saturday July 2nd. It kicks off with a parade at 11 a.m. featuring the UW Marching Band! Meet us in Lime Kiln Park, beginning at 5:00pm for the best fireworks north of Milwaukee! You can find the full Holidaze lineup below.
As the summer fun continues here in the heart of Ozaukee County, we encourage our Chamber member businesses to register to participate in our upcoming Ladies Night Out. It is the perfect opportunity to showcase your business! This annual event takes place the first Tuesday in August and brings hundreds of shoppers to downtown Grafton. Find the link below to register as an LNO vendor.
While summer is in full-swing, education is always in season. The GACC is currently accepting applications for its continuing education scholarship. You can access an application and a description of qualifications on the Chamber website. Deadline to apply is at the end of the month.
Additionally, this is a great time to get out of the house or office and head over to your favorite Chamber member restaurant or bar for an after-work refresher or a family dinner. Beginning July 7, consider joining us at Veterans Park for GALA's summer concert series. Maybe try someplace new, I know I will. No matter what you explore in Grafton, we hope you enjoy an have a safe and happy Independence holiday.
Sean
