Please take a few minutes to complete the survey – due by Friday, June 23.

Ambassador Stop-In Program



Paul Eggen, a DCR Chamber Ambassador and with Paul Eggen State Farm Insurance, stopped in to visit with Mark Toombs, President of First State Bank of Rosemount. The Chamber Ambassadors are making stops to say hello to members and answer any questions they might have. A fun fact about the bank is they are the oldest business in Rosemount, established October 1909. They will be sponsoring “Dogs for a Cause” in the upcoming Leprechaun Days where they serve hot dogs, etc. and all proceeds go to a local nonprofit - Rosemount Arts Council.
