Ponderings of the President:
Hello Chesaning Friends! Summer is rolling in, and so are the many exciting events we have lined up! It’s always amazing to see the way our little town comes together, and this season promises to be one to remember.
We’re thrilled to bring back our annual Fireworks Show at Showboat Park on Thursday, June 27. Last year, we welcomed 714 cars into the park—an incredible turnout! If rain tries to dampen our fun again, we’ll move the celebration to Friday, June 28. The park opens at 4 p.m. with music, food vendors, and plenty of community spirit, with fireworks lighting up the sky around 10 p.m. Don’t forget—admission is just $5 per vehicle, and walk-ins are free (though donations are always welcome).
We’re also bringing the Dry-Tri back to its traditional September date! After an amazing turnout last year, we’re looking forward to another fun-filled day of biking, running, and paddling. New this year, we’re excited to add a 5K run/walk option—perfect for those who want to join in without getting wet. Whether you’re racing or cheering from the sidelines, it’s a great way to get involved. Register now and mark your calendars!
Our 30th Annual Golf Outing is coming up on Sunday, September 15. This event helps us award scholarships to two Chesaning High School seniors each year. This year we proudly supported Ava Escamilla and Casey Railing in their educational journeys. We’re always grateful to our sponsors and participants who make this fundraiser possible!
A fun addition this year was Business Bingo, featuring 15 local businesses, and the excitement of town-wide garage sales and the Flea Market at the Fairgrounds brought lots of energy (and shoppers!) into Chesaning. Thank you to all who participated and supported our local entrepreneurs.
Looking ahead, Stuff the Bus returns this July, helping ensure our students are set up for a successful school year. Please note: there will be no board meeting or marketing meeting in July as we focus on this important initiative.
And finally, save the date—January 13, 2025, for a once-in-a-century celebration: the 101st Anniversary of the Chesaning Chamber of Commerce! We’ll also be honoring 250 years of the USA with our Annual Awards Event—it’s going to be a night to remember!
Thank you for your continued support, your spirit, and for making Chesaning the vibrant community we all love. Wishing you a safe, sunny, and joyful summer!
