Due to COVID-19, the Chamber Board voted to cancel Sip & Savor St. Charles County this year.
This event would have made it difficult for attendees to social distance. Additionally, restaurants may not be fully staffed.
We wanted to still find a way to promote and support local restaurants, breweries, wineries, and disilleries and replace revenue lost as the result of cancelling this year's evnet.
More than 35 local establishments have agreed to provide an offer in our passport - many are 20% off, $10 off $50 or more, buy one get one free, or free appetizer / dessert with the purchase of two entrees.
This is a great way for you to show your support for the Chamber while supporting an industry that has been impacted the most by the pandemic.
