Dear Chamber investors,
I hope you had a great weekend and made it to the Farmers Market for their seasonal Grand Opening! Due to Steven Hunter's great, superhero-like strength, the Chamber will be replacing our celebratory "big" scissors. You have to love Deana Wright's face as they all realize what happened! If you can give our friend Mr. Hunter a hard time about it, please do! Ha!
Registration to the Chamber's Annual Business Celebration is open! The business community has been through two tough years and some pain points continue as we deal with inflation, supply chain shortages, and more. I think we all need something to celebrate- the strength of our business community over 95 years, especially today! We are all in this together and we'd love to see you there.
Small Business seminars begin in June thanks to our friends at FNB Bank. Register for the first one focusing on marketing efforts, "How Your Business Can Stand Out Above the Rest." Our presenter is Mrs. Sarah Whitaker, Owner Williams Advertising in Hopkinsville, Ky. Williams Advertising is a full-service marketing agency that also specializes in creating branded merchandise. Williams Advertising tailors strategies to its clients’ business goals and executes those plans through social media management, content and message development, brand identity and graphic design, media and community relations, website design, digital marketing, paid advertising, and more.
