GOOD MORNING BUFFALO

TERRA NOVA

1705 Hwy 25 N

Thursday, August 15th 8:00 a.m.

We are excited to see Buffalo's public charter school that serves 6-12th grade. "Out of the Classroom, Into the World" is their mission of this project-based school that allows students to design learning experiences based on their interests and passions. They have open enrollment happening as we speak - see their information below.

We had the biggest turn out yet, at last weeks' Good Morning Buffalo at Buff-N-Glo! Over 50 people were in attendance to welcome the new owners and see all the offerings that the carwash/oil change/pet wash business has to offer.

Did you know that they wash 3-400 cars per day and that about 50 use the self wash daily. The fur friend wash is busy too with 10-15 dogs getting bathed per day. Everything is now card operated- no need for coins.

Below is AJ, owner Eric Swanson, Dan, Gus and owner Zack Goodwin.

HILLTOP GRILL at WILD MARSH GOLF COURSE

Thursday, August 8th 4:30 p.m.

Time to sneak in a Good Afternoon Buffalo and enjoy some seating on the deck with a view while summer is at its best!

Come network on a casual basis over a cold beverage! Stay for dinner if you'd like! No better view in town!

NEW TEACHER BAGS - IT'S TIME TO SET ASIDE 40-50 ITEMS TO WELCOME THEM!

Hate to mention school starting, but we do want to mention that the Chamber will be a stop in the day of welcoming our new teachers to town on August 23rd!

Every year we fill the bag with goodies promoting/making them aware of your business and what you have to offer them! Stop in any time before August 20th and drop off your goodies and Melissa and I will stuff the bags!

BE SURE TO GET OUR 41ST ANNUAL ART & CRAFT FESTIVAL

ON YOUR CALENDAR!

ANOTHER SAVE THE DATE BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE CHAMBER!

(This date is a change from last week)

You know that I always encourage learning - whether for your personal or professional growth - so Scott Welle is going to come speak with us on Daily Execution/Extraordinary Results on October 3rd! It's going to be a Good Afternoon Buffalo with a perk! Mark that date for 4:30-6:00 and come enjoy a beverage, appetizers and good motivational learning! More to come!

AMBASSADORS ON THE MOVE

DOWNTOWN WINE & SPIRITS

122 1st St S

The Ambassador group stopped in at Downtown Wine & Spirts and chatted with Julie and the staff there. What do you think Buffalo's favorite beer is based on sales? Busch Light! Next up would be Coor's Light and Mic Golden Light. They also, surprisingly, sell a lot of Fireball.

One trend that the staff has noticed is that there's been an uptick in non-alcoholic beverages/mocktails. There are NA liquors and NA seltzers now. They also sell THC infused beverages and have edibles too (see pics below). They continue to seek out new products that are of consistent good quality. Many people shop them to help them be calm and sleep.

Sunday sales have been good and right now the highway location is the only one open on Sundays. The DT location is considering opening on Sundays too as there has been a demand. Which location do you usually go to? There are a total of 20 staff, with 6 being full-time, to serve you well no matter which location you choose!

Below is the Ambassador group with staff, Jon, Julie, Jeff and Kris.

CELEBRATING ANNIVERSARIES

The Chamber gals had fun getting out and thanking our members on their anniversary. Below are the clubhouse guys at Buffalo Heights. We treated them to some cookies to thank them for their 5 years of membership!

We were lucky to catch Eric Ebeling of Thrivent at his recently new office space at Out Do Work and thank him for his 5 years of membership.

We had a nice visit with Eva Hook, Director, at Havenwood. We love that they have been voted one of the best Assisted Living facilities in the U.S.! We consider them the best with their 5 years of engagement with us at the Chamber.

We stopped in at Montrose Family Chiropractic last week and though owner, Sonia Tourville, was busy with patients, office staff Amy Chaffins, gladly welcomed us as we thanked them for their 15 years of membership!

We were fortunate to catch owner, Terry Peterson, in her office at Kid's Haven! A classmate of mine - been a Chamber member for 25 years! Thanks Terry - and don't worry about being taller:)

A COUPLE GREAT SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES!

Chamber members that have already stepped up to be a Street Party of Hope supporter are HealthSource Chiropractic, Wild Marsh Golf Course, Integriprint and Edlund Media. Thank you!

Look at the businesses that have sponsored the Armadillos! They are ALL members! Shows that Chamber members truly are the business leaders in our community!
