1. “By all these lovely tokens, September days are here. With summer’s best of weather and autumn’s best of cheer.” — Helen Hunt Jackson

Hello Chamber Members,

Summer is almost over with September 22nd being the first day of Autumn. School is back in and we have had a event filled busy summer, but lots to look forward to over the next few months.

I hope everyone got time away in the summer months and enjoyed some family fun time.

Summer is fading away, and we welcome the crisp air, vibrant foliage, and cozy vibes of fall. (But we still want a few more days of summer......)



Stay safe out there as we are still very dry and have fires in our area.

Why did the M&M go to school?......

Talk soon,

Shelley

Business Yard Sale.....

I have had a member bring this idea forward. Would anyone be interested in having a Business Yard Sale. To clear out old fixtures, dated inventory, dead stock etc. An idea for location perhaps Coop Parking Lot. If there is interest in this please shoot me an email to let me know and we can see how much interest there is and go from there.

Because it really wanted to be a Smartie!......
