Dear Chamber Members,
Hello everyone!
Autumn
is here, and it sure feels like it! This is my favorite time of the year. There are a lot of great reasons to go out and enjoy the cool comfortable weather and experience the change of seasons.
We closed out summer with our 28th Chamber Golf Outing at Edgewater Golf Club. The weather was a bit questionable at the start of the day, but it turned out to be a perfect golf day and a great time was had by all. Thank you to all of our golfers, sponsors and volunteers who made this a fun and successful event.
Celebrate Grafton’s Fall Into Grafton Festival is coming up on October 14th and 15th. Join us in the Lumberyard Plaza starting at 5 p.m. on Friday night for live
music, food and beverages available for purchase. Saturday’s festivities begin at Veterans Park from 7:30 am to 10 am with the Flannel and Flapjacks Pancake Breakfast presented by Balance, Inc. Check out the Fall story on
our story walk in the park and kids are encouraged to take part in the crafts, hosted by the USS Memorial Library. The festivities continue in Downtown Grafton at 11:00 am with games and activities for familes. There will be tons of food, and entertainment throughout the day. Get your team together for some mini golf, and have fun Pumpkin Puttin’ Around Downtown Grafton. The Annual Pumpkin Derby is always a great time. Visit our website for details.
The Holidays are right around the corner, and we are looking for your support as we prepare for another wonderful celebration! Contact the Chamber office for information about the ways that you and your business can become involved including volunteering, serving as a sponsor, participating in our Plaza Gnome Decorating Contest, or the 42nd Grafton Christmas Parade. It’s never too early to do some holiday shopping - remember, Chamber Gift Checks make a great gift for everyone. Just call our office at 262-377-1650 to place your gift check order in any denomination. They're accepted at more than 225 local businesses.
I think it’s time for an Oktoberfest, Cheers!
Sean
