Last week the chamber had a tremendous week! We golfed! We food truck'd! Gosh it was grand! Thank you again to all our partners and community members who partook in the festivities. We had ALL the fun and hope you did too! We now look ahead awaiting more fun to enjoy this summer. And that starts Saturday...
Join us this weekend to kick-off Saturdays on the Square! The market opens at 9am with tons of food, craft and commercial vendors for everyone to shop and explore.
This entire weekend will be special actually. Why? If you haven't seen the posts or scrolled far enough in our newsletter, let me remind you that this Memorial Day is 5.31.21! Look familiar? That's because this Memorial Day will also be our once-in-a-hundred-year celebration for ELKHORN DAY [click to read more] honoring when the calendar matches our zip code!
Did you click the link? Click it! Do it! Make sure to commit to memory [or jot it down] all the ways that you can celebrate Elkhorn this Memorial Day Weekend!
From visiting our beautiful parks to supporting local by eating out or shopping in our city, the Elkhorn Chamber wishes you a safe and celebratory weekend with friends and family.
