WAKE UP BUFFALO

TIMBER BAY

Thursday, October 8th 8:00 a.m.

2362 County Road 35 W (park by shop)

Head out of town just a bit on 35 past Mill Creek. Follow 35 south. It's not far - so don't let the address scare you away!

Timber Bay has been supporting youth in the Buffalo area for 30 years (see their anniversary celebration below). During this time they have used many spaces for their large group meeting times, one-on-one mentoring and small group gatherings. They now have been given an opportunity to purchase a space that would be ideal to facilitate the work they do with their struggling youth.

Come hear more about what they do and see the space they hope to call home for the next 30 years!

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR! PRIME ADVERTISING WILL BE HITTING THE ROAD!

Yes, we are in the making of our 2027 Chamber Directory/Community Resource Guide! No worries- you have a couple of months until it goes to print, but this is a coffee table piece that takes a lot of effort on our part to write and to collect quality photos and time on the Prime Advertising teams part to meet and give you great advertising options to choose from!

These publications go out to over 17,000 residents and businesses in the Buffalo/Hanover/Montrose/Rockford area as well as to new homeowners all year long. It will also be in our local hotels and realty offices! Placing a colorful, design done for you and will bring you great visibility. As a Chamber member you will be listed in the directory alphabetically and by business category - so no matter what - this is to promote you and is a valuable part of your chamber membership!

You will be hearing from the Prime Advertising sales team in the coming weeks! If Katie, Charmein, Sara, Nikki or Kaylee call upon you, please give them your time. I am very proud of this publication year after year, and it's all about YOU and our CHAMBER and our COMMUNITY!

MEMBER HAPPENINGS

GET ONE OF THE WEEKENDS ON YOUR CALENDAR NOW FOR

BCT'S FALL PERFORMANCE!

BUFFALO COMMUNITY THEATER

THE WEDDING SINGER

Discovery Elementary School Stage

214 1st Ave NE

OCTOBER 29th and 30th, Sunday November 1st

NOVEMBER 6th/7th and Sunday November 8th

TICKETS TO GO ON SALE SOON - BUT GET IT ON YOUR CALENDAR NOW!

I can't wait for this one! My family enjoyed the movie with Adam Sandler and it can only get better by having our own local talent perform it live! Come on out - ask some friends - make a night of it! Support our local community theater who is celebrating 40 years next year!

The Wedding Singer takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room. Based on the hit Adam Sandler movie, The Wedding Singer’s sparkling new score does for the ’80s what Hairspray did for the ’60s. Just say yes to the most romantic musical in twenty years.

It’s 1985, and rock star wannabe, Robbie Hart, is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party until his own fiancée leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. As luck would have it, Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and, unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever.
