Happy Summer Everyone!

 

It’s the time of year where Pottsboro hits its stride and our little community starts buzzing with visitors and excitement! With the passing of Memorial Day, we are gearing up for a busy and fun summer. 

 

Storm season has been particularly tough in our area. If you have experienced damage and need a reputable company to help with repairs, be sure to check out the Pottsboro Directory. In the back of the directory, our chamber members are listed by business category. It is a great tool and resource if you are looking for reputable help and you can support our local businesses, too.

 

There are so many great events coming up this month. Be sure to add all of these to your calendar so you don’t miss out on any great opportunities.

 

Regional Business After Hours hosted at Tanglewood - THIS TUESDAY June 4th from 6pm-8pm. Join us, Denison, Sherman, and Durant Chambers for a fun evening of food, drinks, music and networking at the gorgeous Tanglewood Resort.

 

Chamber Biz Builders - June 18; 11:30 - 1:00 at Napoli’s

This event is specifically for our business members. We host a structured meeting where we learn about the members’ businesses and how to support and refer business to each other. 

 

June Mix & Mingle - June 20th from 5:30-7:00 hosted by Freedom Boat Club. 

This is always a fun time, don’t miss it!

 

Frontier Day is RIGHT AROUND the corner and the planning has started! You will start to see sponsorship opportunities and details as it comes together. If you are interested in helping with the planning, join us for our planning meeting. The next one is scheduled for Tuesday, June 25th, 6pm at the Chamber office. We keep it short and sweet and provide pizza!

 

Registration is now open for the Parade, Car Show, Vendors and Sponsorship opportunities. Here is the link to join in on all the fun! https://www.pottsborochamber.com/events/details/2024-frontier-day-wild-west-roundup-13944

 

Our Chamber Advocate program has ramped backup! We are so excited to have our wonderful advocates to help support the fun things the chamber does. If you are interested in getting involved, call Missy at the Chamber office to learn more.

 

It’s going to be a great summer and the Pottsboro Chamber is geared up to help everyone stay connected. Join us for all the fun!

 

See you around town!
