Upcoming Chamber Events

The Mulvane Chamber of Commerce is promoting a Fall Window & Table Decorating Contest to encourage business owners to join in the fun and be a part of something that allows you to expand your presence.


If you're downtown, decorate your store front window or bring a table to decorate at Safe Treat Night. There will be two winners: Window decoration and Treat Table decoration! Winners will receive a $50 gift card from their choice of Chamber business.


We encourage every business to post their decorated space on Facebook and tag the Chamber!


There's still time to sign up for Safe Treat Night. If you don't have a business downtown, you're welcome to set up. Bring your table, decorations and lots of candy for a fun night!


I do need an accurate count, so I can make sure there is enough space for all businesses that want to participate. Thanks!
