Chamber of Commerce Chatter

SUMMER IS HERE! School is out, the summer schedules are in full swing and the weather is warming up! Time to get out and enjoy all the activities and events going on around town. Check out the flyers inside for some different happenings in our community.

 

Summerfest is not far away now! Be sure to save the dates of July 16th through the 19th. The official Summerfest T-shirts are here and will go on sale on Monday, June 1st. We will have them from 4T through adult 5XL. Youth sizes are $15, adult small through XL are $20, 2XL through 5XL are $25. The schedule is coming together quite well. If you know of an event that is going to be happening during the celebration, please get it to me so I can get it on the posters. I would like to have the posters out by the middle of June. Has your business sent in your sponsorship for the award winning rodeo or the big concert coming up featuring Tegan Nissen opening for Josh Turner? Get those cars all shined up for the car show happening on Saturday in Ford Park! We will again have Joseph Hall, Elvis Tribute Artist Show coming on Thursday, July 16th. We have the Joseph Hall tickets on sale here at the chamber office, and at KBRX. They are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Tickets for the Josh Turner concert are $35 in advance and are available at the chamber office, KBRX and www.oneillchamber.com. Be watching for the sign-up genius link to sign up to help with the Summerfest events. We are going to need lots of volunteers to make all of these events happen! If you sign up to tend bar or sell drink tickets at the concert, you will receive a free t-shirt as well as your free pass to the concert. There may be more opportunities to help and receive these amenities once we figure out for sure how many people we are going to need.

 

We celebrate Father’s Day on June 21st. Be sure to SHOP LOCAL when searching for the perfect gift for Dad. If you can’t find exactly what you are looking for, don’t be afraid to ask if it can be ordered for you! Also, shamrock bucks make a great gift if you aren’t sure what he would like. You could purchase a memory/experience by giving him concert tickets too!

 

Throughout the summer, our community will be host to many baseball, softball, swimming and other sports teams. Be sure to give them a big Irish welcome when they stop by our businesses. Almost any night of the week, we can get out and attend a ball game of some kind. Get out those stadium seats and support the youth of our community. The kids appreciate the support!
