Chamber of Commerce Chatter

Happy Easter! This month we celebrate Easter! Check out the flyers inside for when the Easter Egg Hunts will be happening around town. Spring is here and the nice warm sunshine feels so good on our faces. The spring sports are getting into full swing which means Prom, Graduation, Mother’s Day, First Communions, Confirmations and more will be happening! Be sure to SHOP LOCAL for all your gift giving needs this spring. Needing a real cool gift for those cards? Put some Summerfest Concert tickets to see Josh Turner inside! The paper tickets for the concert are on sale now at the chamber office and KBRX Radio Station. They can be purchased online at www.oneillchamber.com. A great way to give memories to be cherished for many years to come.

 

Congratulations O’Neill on another successful St. Patrick’s Day Celebration! So glad the parade was Saturday and not Sunday with the weather we had on Sunday! The street along the parade route was lined from buildings to curbs. There were many activities for everyone to enjoy throughout the week. See inside for the Irish Walk of Fame, Chamber Award and Parade Winners. Mark your calendars now for St. Pat’s 2027. We will kick it off on Wednesday, March 17th! THANK YOU so much to everyone that had anything to do with the events and activities that made the whole St Patrick’s Celebration week so successful. Most don’t see what goes on behind the scenes to make all the events happen. Seeing all the smiles on everyone’s faces as they enjoy all that goes on, makes it all worthwhile. WAY TO GO O’NEILL!!! I’m so proud of this community and how hard we work to make people want to come and celebrate with us. Another successful St. Pat's Celebration in the books. Thank you to my team members, Hannah Firley, Tammy Tienken and Shelly Campbell for all of your hard work keeping the chamber office going while I was all over the place during the celebration week.

 

You will find the 2026 Chamber of Commerce Scholarship application here. Be sure to have your senior get it completed and returned to the chamber office by Friday, April 3rd. We will be awarding one $500 scholarship to a graduating senior from O’Neill Public High School, St. Mary’s High School and the Cornerstone School. Good luck to all the applicants.

 

Be sure to check out the calendar of events as we have a ribbon cutting and grand opening for Elite Door on Friday, April 17th. Come out and see the new building, meet the staff and welcome this new business to our chamber family and the community!
