Atlanta Area Chamber Wrap
Atlanta Area Chamber President said there are four openings for the chamber’s board of directors and with lots of community businesses events coming up, the chamber will need some help.
“This office is working hard for our community and its businesses,” Jill N. Crocker said. “We will have four openings for our Board of Directors. If you would like to serve or know someone who is interested, come by our office and pick up a form.”
In October, Crocker said the Atlanta chamber added four new members.
“It’s all about the numbers,” she said. “In October, we added four new members, held four ribbon cuttings, had one Fall Maker’s Market and one Glow Run.”
Crocker said this was all done while planning ahead for what is in store. A scarecrow contest starts today and folks can check out the Atlanta Area Chamber of Commerce Facebook page to vote for your favorite decor.
“Thank you to Family Eye Care Clinic; Heath Clark, Farmers Insurance, Caffe Crema, River Valley Tractor, The Cutting Co & Barber Shop, and Billy Fincher Construction for participating,” Crocker said of the Scarecrow contest. “Be sure to check out their displays and vote!”
The chamber president said there will be a ribbon cutting for Amazing Acres RV Park at 11 a.m. on November 2nd, with a chili lunch. The RV Park is located at 405 S. Boggie Street in Atlanta.
“On November 4th from 11 am-1 pm, Cass County Peace Officers Association Chili Cook off (will be) located in the chamber parking lot,” Crocker said.
The following upcoming events and celebrations are: November 11th, Veterans Day Celebrations held at 5:30 pm at Veterans Plaza.
November 12th, 9am-4pm is slated for “Making Christmas Happen For Cass County CPS”. Crocker said the event will have vendors, music from local artists, raffles and more at 902 ABC Lane in Atlanta.
November 13th is Holiday Open House, from 1pm-5pm, which includes the lighting of the Veterans Plaza Christmas tree at 5 pm “I need logos if you would like to be on the stamp card,” Crocker said. “Also if you have special giveaways, let us know as we can help promote.”
Crocker said Christmas parade sign-ups are being accepted now, with a December 3rd, 5:30 pm start time and 4 pm line up.
“The theme is Christmas movies,” Crocker said. Holiday Maker’s Market is still slated for December 10 from 4pm-8pm, with applications available for vendors on November 1st.
“We are teaming up with the Hometown Christmas Crew to make this a spectacular evening for the Atlanta area,” Crocker said. “This is our local, handmade, homemade or handcrafted event.”
The Fall Harvest Maker’s Market had a record breaking number of vendors, totalling to about 60, so many are expecting Holiday Maker’s Market to be a blowout, as well.
