Spinal Cord Benefit at Jimbo’s broke the ½ million dollar mark last year. 

Downhill Derby had great weather, fantastic crowd, new cardboard box kid’s race was fun, and the People’s Choice award was the Whale with water spout which everyone enjoyed.

Chamber News:  There is a chamber mixer at the Odd Duck tonight from 4-6 p.m. with cash bar.  Lynn and Deb will not be at the parade this year as they’ll be at another event south of us to promote chambers and area.     Economic Development meeting coming in April. 

St. Patrick’s Day Parade – there is more  interest than ever before this year.  Chestertown “Blarney Stone” is in place and each kisser will receive a “Lips” sticker.  We are still looking for a basic weight bench to place in front of it for participants.  Table will be set up to sell sweatshirts and buttons(marking the event).  Jackie is working on getting volunteers from the high school and Jack from the “Y” as well to wear the dog and snowman costumes.  MOAS will be selling burgers and dogs.  Several fire companies will be participating as well as the Odd Duck owners will be in costume meandering up and down the parade route.  Ad.net had a blast on the parade and the Sun had an article on some bagpipers in the area and mentioned our parade.  Read more →
