Greetings!
Welcome to the Oakdale Chamber's electronic edition of the Chamber Corner. One Wednesday a month a full page is dedicated to Chamber business in the Oakdale Leader. We'd like to share this same information with you electronically. This correspondence includes information on the upcoming events, as well as some must-see details on what's happening at the Chamber. 
Sip, Shop, and Support Local!
Explore Oakdale’s vibrant streets on May 18th, discovering local treasures and tasting delights while supporting our local businesses!
Join us at The Oakdale Chamber Sip & Shop (previously known as Pours in Stores), a delightful celebration of community and commerce in the heart of our beloved town.

Come out on Saturday, May 18th, from 2pm – 6pm as we embark on a journey through the charming streets of Oakdale, exploring the diverse array of businesses nestled in and around our downtown area.

This exciting event is not just about leisurely strolling, but also about discovering and supporting the vibrant local businesses that make Oakdale unique. With each step, participants will have the opportunity to connect with shop owners, artisans, and entrepreneurs, learning about their stories and the passion behind their craft.

As you meander through the picturesque streets, be sure to pick up your passport card at the starting point. This card will serve as your guide, allowing you to collect signatures from all the participating locations along the way. And here’s the exciting part – for every completed passport card, participants will be entered into a raffle to win an enticing prize!

But wait, there’s more! In addition to exploring the wonderful shops and boutiques, participants will also have the chance to indulge in some delightful sips. Several locations will be offering tastings of local wines, craft beers, and other refreshing beverages, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to your stroll.

So mark your calendars, gather your friends and family, and join us for a day of discovery, camaraderie, and fun at the Oakdale Chamber Sip & Shop. Let’s come together to celebrate our community and show our support for the businesses that make Oakdale shine.

Arrest Round Up Scholarship Fundraiser
Thank you, Oakdale for your tremendous support during our Annual Arrest Round-Up Scholarship Fundraiser! 🤠 With your help, we "arrested" 36 generous community members and raised just over $8,400 for our local kids' higher education pursuits, whether at a 2-4 year university or vocational/trade school. 📚🔧 Your commitment to our youth's future is truly inspiring! Thank you to H-B Saloon for serving as the best "jail house" in town!

We're thrilled by the success of this year's fundraiser, but the journey doesn't end here. Let's saddle up again next year and aim even higher, ensuring more opportunities for our local students to chase their dreams. Together, we can continue making a meaningful difference in their lives. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey!
