Chamber Connection November 1, 2018

Thank you to all who attended the 49thAnnual Hopkins County Stew Contest!  We enjoyed delicious stew, BEAUTIFUL weather, and great memories.  I love that we live in a community that welcomes an event of this size, allows us to think of our big dreams, and execute them.  Thank you to our sponsors,our cooks, and our volunteers for a wonderful, wonderful Hopkins County tradition!  See you next year for the gigantic 50th Annual Stew Contest on Saturday, October 26th,2019!

I’m excited to let you know that we have begun work on the 2019 Hopkins County Chamber of Commerce Directory.  We distribute over 7,000 of these directories to visitors, relocation hopefuls, and even home town heroes who are interested in learning more about our local businesses.  They include historical information as well all things to the see and do in Hopkins County.  The best part is, they include an alphabetical and categorical listing of your business. LeeAnn Peugh, with Echo Publishing, will be contacting you in the next few weeks to see if you are interested in placing an ad in the directory.  The rates are affordable, and one of the best ways to represent your business.  I hope you will consider this a wise investment with over 7,000 opportunities for business exposure.  You may also contact the Chamber, and I will pass your information along to her.  I’m proud to produce this book telling all about the place we love.  I hope you will join me in the journey!
