It was a beautiful day to be outside and enjoy delicious food by Prem Meats, music, chatting with friends, making new friends and of course the free tastings! I enjoyed seeing people out enjoying themselves. We all need to have some fun in our lives!
The funds raised at all of our events assist the Chamber with promoting our local businesses, hosting events and building community. With our fundraising events, we are able to host events such as
Love Local Punch Cards, Scratch Local Gold and throw pizza parties or hand out cookies to businesses as a “pat on the back” for a job well done. We not only try to draw the tourists to our gorgeous River Valley but provide a little fun for the locals also! The local businesses are an amazing group of entrepreneurs and they have preserved through the last year like troopers. All have come out on the other side and are ready for business as usual. The River Valley is an amazing place to live and I am privileged to represent the local members of my Chamber.
