Call for volunteers!
Our Wild West Extravaganza is coming up on July 2, 3 and 4th. This is the annual craft & food fair that takes place on 10th street between the Courthouse and City Park. As we did last year, we will have an information booth at the event. It will be manned by a combination of Chamber staff and volunteers on July 2, 3 and 4th from 10am to 5pm. While we know it is a busy time of year, between people taking vacation and having family visiting and running your own businesses, we are hoping to get a few volunteers throughout each day to help at the booth. If you have any interest, or know someone who may have interest, please get in touch with Tina Hoebelheinrich at exec@codychamber.org or call 587-2777.
