Who said summer was a lazy time? So many things happening at the Chamber . . .
First, I hope everyone is planning to come out to the Inaugural ConnectOrange Community Showcase, scheduled for Friday, August 12 from 4 to 8 p. m. at Booster Park. Live music, food, beer and cider, kids’ activities – this FREE event is designed to help connect local businesses with the community. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy the evening while you check out the offerings from local businesses!
The 47th Annual Orange Street Festival is scheduled for Saturday, September 10, 2022. This annual autumn tradition is shaping up to be a great event for all. Come out and shop while enjoying live music from local favorites Dave Goodrich and Waking Napster.
For our members, right on the heels of these events is our New Member Reception at the end of September and our Annual Membership Meeting in October, followed by our 98th Annual Awards Banquet in November. Hope to see you soon at these events!
Are you getting squeezed by high prices? We certainly are! Would $5000 cash help? Introducing our Inflation Buster Raffle! For a $40 investment, you can be entered into a drawing for a $5000 cash prize – guaranteed to be awarded. The VA lottery doesn’t promise that!
Drawing will be held at our Annual Awards Banquet on November 12, but you don’t need to be present to win. Contact the Chamber office for tickets at (540) 672-5216.
I’ll see you soon – and remember to think, shop, and eat local!
