Hello Chamber Members,
The weather on Friday night for our Fall into Grafton event certainly felt almost like winter. I had planned to spend some time outside on Friday night listening to the band at Sahale but the cool air and drizzle sent me inside. Saturday turned out to be a perfect fall day, and hundreds of families participated in the festivities. Thank you to all of our members and volunteers who made this another exciting event, and to those of you who participated in the fun.
Congratulations to Blain’s Farm and Fleet on their grand opening! The VIP opening was a great event, and a lot of attendees had the chance to see the new store before opening day. We are very happy to have this wonderful community minded business join our Chamber, and we look forward to the increased traffic and activity it will bring to our South Commercial District. Watch for more new developments in that area coming soon.
We are now moving on to Thanksgiving and our planning for our annual Holiday Events is in full swing. Please consider being a part of our Christmas Parade or participating in the Gnome Decorating Contest.
We can always use more volunteers for this huge undertaking. I hope that you will considering joining us at the Tree Lighting Ceremony, Breakfast with Santa or plan to bring your family and spend the day in downtown Grafton for the largest holiday parade in southeastern Wisconsin.
Good luck to all the deer hunters out there!
Sean
