Healdsburg Business of the Year

While doing research for a recent article I wrote for the Museum about the Healdsburg Chamber of Commerce  I read about the number of social events that the Chamber used to sponsor for the community.  There were swimming races, a boat show on the river (there was more water then!) a beauty contest and special events to honor chamber business members.  One of those events was an annual business of the year award.  With many people remembering  a slower more gentle time in Healdsburg we decided to revive this event and  are inviting you all to attend our First Re-annual Healdsburg Business Awards BBQ at Tayman Park Clubhouse on Friday, July 14 from 5-10 pm.  Ken Rochioli will be cooking and  Court 'n’ Disaster a great band made up of local attorneys and judges will be entertaining us. Join us to cheer on this year’s flock of winners. Some tickets still left. Call Charlene at 433-6935 or click here for tickets.
