Announcement: Businesses Wanted for Game Day Roundup!


My name is Jen Flowers and I am the Athletic Director at Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall, MN. As we gear up for football season here on campus, we’re building a new initiative called Game Day Roundup. We’re hoping to build tons of excitement by utilizing inflatables, music, vendors, food trucks, and more!

 

How do you fit it?! Bring your business to the REC! Set up a station with a tent, giveaways, games, etc. Anything you want to do – we can likely do it! There is no cost to have a spot – we’d just ask that you bring with you everything you need (tables, tents, etc.) You can sell items, if you wish. Really anything works! We are working really hard to build a fun atmosphere prior to the games.


Game Days:

September 23rd

October 14th

October 21st

November 11th


If you're interested in obtaining more information, please contact me with the info below!

Chamber E-Connection Guidelines & Policies

Newsletter Goals & Audience


The purpose of the Chamber E-Connection newsletter is to share our member's events with other business and community members. It's an informational newsletter and helps to promote our member businesses and their events. Each Friday, our newsletter is sent to over 1,500 individuals. Our separate emails are sent to the same list, but are held especially for our Chamber events and Business After Hours.


Newsletter Policy


E-Connection events are included based on the requests from the member business. The following criteria are requested by the Marshall Area Chamber for event submissions:


*Event flyers or submissions must be an actual event. We don't include sales or promotions.

*Events can be included in the E-Connection for one week free of charge. You have the option of adding one additional week for $20.

*Submissions to be included must be sent the Wednesday prior to that Friday's E-Connection - they can be emailed to chamber@marshallmn.org.

*All event flyers are for Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce members only.
