Your July Hayden Chamber News!

"Celebration" July has always been a month of celebrations and this year - it is still very much appropriate to celebrate! You might wonder - with all of the uncertainty that is we are currently experiencing - what can we celebrate? We at the Hayden Chamber of Commerce feel that EVERY DAY is a GREAT DAY to celebrate living the good life in our slice of Heaven - aka North Idaho. We also wish to celebrate the following events:

INDEPENDENCE DAY is a Federal Holiday in the United States commemorating the Declaration of Independence of the United States on July 4, 1776. The Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American colonies were no longer subject (and subordinate) to the monarch of Britain, King George III, and were now united, free and independent states.

Idaho State Museum ·  July 3, 2018  ·    Happy Statehood Day Idaho! On July 3, 1890, Idaho became the 43rd state to join the Union. This photo was taken from the cover of the Idaho Daily Statesman on April 4, 1890, which was a call to Senate to pass the bill. The House bill, which passed 129 to 1, reached the Senate on April 5, but was tabled because bills concerning silver had the highest priority on the Senate calendar. Finally on June 27, the Senate approved the bill signing Wyoming into statehood and three days later the Idaho bill was presented again. The favor in Idaho becoming a state was so strong that admission was granted without a roll call vote. Idaho Territorial delegate Fred T. Dubois wanted to have President Harrison sign the bill on July 4, 1890, in celebration with America’s independence, but was informed that would delay the addition of Idaho’s star to the American flag for an entire year so he arranged to have it signed on July 3. Following Idaho’s official signing into the Union, Dubois telegraphed back to Idaho: “Turn the Eagle Loose.” — with  Idaho Statesman .

With summer in full swing let's take a moment to pause and thank those who have went before us to secure the freedoms that we appreciate and enjoy. We are here - stronger together - and we encourage you to have a WONDERFUL July 2020. All my best, Kandi Johnson Executive Director

Hayden Chamber-TDS Networking Breakfast June Highlights

Jennifer Smock, Windermere Realty, shared at our June Networking Breakfast very interesting and important facts about our current Real Estate market. Jocelyn Babcock with the Museum of North Idaho talks about how the Museum is "moving history forward" and seeking the communities participation! Joel Aponte of JCA Landscaping, a new member to the chamber, shared about what brought him and his family to north Idaho and the inspiration for his business.

Our Real Estate market is ever-changing - the information that our guest speaker shared was vital to our membership! Team TDS is always up for a fun morning!

Our Board of Directors and Staff met on July 2, 2020, and made the difficult decision to cancel our 2020 Annual Banquet & Culinary Competition for this year. In light of the current events and electing to keep our membership and community safe - we have decided to not host this event this year. This event brings together our membership, guests, culinary competitors and others in a large group setting that is fun and entertaining. While we would very much like to get together with all of you for this event, we have elected to not host the event this year. We look forward to our 2021 Annual Banquet & Culinary Competition that will be held in April 2021! Stay tuned for details!
