Ponderings of the President:
Hello Chesaning Friends!
September is here and that means school and sports have started, cooler weather is right around the corner, and pumpkin spice flavors are everywhere! Summer was amazing for all Chesaning Chamber of Commerce events. The 23rd annual Fireworks had 720 cars for an estimated 3,500 people in attendance. The continued support of our sponsors allows our village to produce an amazing fireworks display. The $9,100 in sponsorships goes a long way toward covering a $13,000 show. As a reminder, our fireworks are always the Thursday before 4th of July.
The 2nd annual Dry Tri was held July 27 this year, due to fall work on Parshallburg bridge canoe/kayak drop in. We had 63 participants this year. This is becoming a major
fundraiser for the Chamber with participant entry fees and sponsors and great donations for the swag bag each participant received. Next year the event will move back to fall and will be held on Saturday, September 13th 2025.
September is filled with fun Chamber activities also. Our annual Golf Outing is September 15th at Twin Books Golf Course. Get your foursome together and call the Golf Course to register. The cost is $60per person. Monies gathered from the golf outing provides two $1,000 scholarships for two Chesaning High School seniors to use to further their education or career training. Deadline for students to apply for scholarships is in the spring of 2025 and are awarded in May, 2025.
The 2nd Annual Charcuterie Walk will be held September 28th, 1-4 pm throughout downtown businesses. If you want to participate, but do not have a storefront downtown, you can set up a table or tent by the Farmer’s Market on the corner of Broad and Saginaw Streets. Or if you would like to do the walk, passports are $25 each and there will be a maximum of 100 sold.
Mark your calendars for this year’s Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner! It will be held Saturday, January 18th 2025 and we will celebrate the Chamber’s 100-year anniversary with music and snacks, celebrate company milestones, dancing and celebrating with past Chamber Presidents and Board members.
Look for your Chamber renewal packets to arrive the end of October. If you would like anything from your business in the packets that go out to all Chamber members, (pen, note pad, brochure, business card, etc.) please take to the Chamber office by Thursday, October 3.
