Riding into Summer!

June 2014, it's hard to believe we're halfway through the year. The season is now upon us ...all of the excitement we've been planning for. The 28th Annual Healdsburg Harvest Bike Tour is July 19th. It's the biggest fundraiser for the Chamber so please help us if you can. We still need some sponsors for the Bicycle Route Map. It's silkscreened on a bandana so it's a keepsake as well as a helpful tool. $300 will add your company name or logo to the bandana map. Remember, over 900 cyclists will be receiving the bandana, so your name will certainly be seen. 

We also need volunteers to help with the bike tour . On Friday, July 18th we could use some help at the High School cafeteria preparing food for the rest stops, and help with setting out all of the route arrows and signs. On Saturday, tour day, we could use some help loading and delivering food to the rest stops, registering participants at the High School and winding things down at the end. Please call or email Aleena if you can help us, 433-6935 or [email protected]

Sidewalk sales will be held August 14-17. Please offer any input you may have at the Downtown Business District meeting July 2, 8:30 am.  The Healdsburg Tribune will be soliciting advertising for the sale insert.  The DBD pays for the header and the color in the ad to help keep the cost of advertising more affordable to participants.
