Chamber of Commerce Chatter

May is here! The month to transition from spring to summer schedules. May is a very busy month with all the end of the year school activities, graduations, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day and all the summer sports practices and games starting. Let us help you with your gift purchasing for some of those events! We have tickets for the July 18th concert with Tegan Nissen opening for Josh Turner and we also have tickets for the Joseph Hall, Elvis impersonator on Thursday, July 16th. Stop by and pick up your tickets and slip them in a card for the special occasion! Be sure to SHOP LOCAL this spring!

 

CONGRATULATIONS to all the graduates from O’Neill Public High School, St. Mary’s High School and the Cornerstone School. Our community is proud of you! As you spread your wings and find yourselves, remember, we would love to have you come back to your hometown to live, work and raise your family. And congratulations to all the parents that have raised these fine young men and women.

 

We are going full steam ahead on the preparations for the Summerfest Celebration coming up on Thursday, July 16th and running through Sunday, the 19th. We are going to need many volunteers to help with the celebration activities, especially the rodeo and concert. You should have already received your sponsorship letters for both events. Please take a look at those advertising opportunities at the biggest event in our area! You can return your sponsorships in the self-addressed stamped envelopes that are included with the sponsorship letters. Be watching for the Sign-up Genius coming out for your opportunity to sign up to help with the events. This weekend is going to be HUGE in our community with all we have going on! In addition to the above events, there will be Sidewalk Sales Downtown on Saturday, Vendor Fair and Car Show Saturday in Ford Park, Church in the Park on Sunday Morning, and more. We will have “Joseph Hall, Elvis Tribute Artist” on Thursday night at the community center again. Tickets are on sale now at the chamber office and KBRX Radio Station. Tickets will be $15 in advance and $20 at the door. The tickets for the Saturday night concert are $35 in advance and are available at the chamber office, KBRX Radio and online at www.oneillchamber.com. If your business or organization is planning something for the weekend, please send it to the chamber office so it can get on the poster. I like to get the posters out six weeks prior to the event to attract more people to come!

 

Since spring is here and summer is just around the corner, let’s get the chamber coffees going again! We hold them on Friday mornings at 10am. This is a great way to get people into your business so you can show off new staff, remodels, new product availability and more. Contact the chamber office for available dates so you can get on the schedule.
