CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CELEBRATES 40TH ANNIVERSARY IN DOWNTOWN TROY
The Troy/Maryville/St. Jacob/Marine Chamber of Commerce is celebrating their 40th anniversary and would like to invite YOU to the big celebration! “The Chamber is so excited to celebrate 40 years in our four communities” said Dawn Mushill, President/CEO of the Troy/Maryville/St. Jacob/Marine Chamber of Commerce.
On Saturday, September 21, from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., downtown Troy will be hopping with food trucks, Artisan vendors, Big Papa G DJ, a live radio remote, a special Chamber celebration cookie from Silly Grandma’s and a couple of other surprises. There is a little something for everyone.
If you like gaming, the Me 2 You Game Truck will be open from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. There is no charge to game inside the truck. Also, for those who are intrigued by electric vehicles, there will be an Electric Vehicle Car Show from noon until 2:00 p.m. Entries will be accepted until 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 21.
The main celebration will be held on Main Street, between Clay and Market Streets. The street will be blocked off and construction in that area will be completed in time for the event. Plenty of seating will be available under the awning behind the new building at the corner of Main and Market.
We have anticipated the reduced amount of parking in downtown Troy so the Chamber will run a shuttle (location to be announced closer to the event). Shuttled attendees will be dropped off at the event and picked up (shuttle runs from 8:45 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.). Also, for the safety of all, the crosswalks will have volunteers to help people cross the streets.
The highlight of the event will be the downtown passport trail. Each attendee will be given a passport and a map and asked to visit the participating downtown businesses to get their passports stamped. Completed passports will be returned to the Chamber’s tent and drawings will be held at 1:45 p.m. There will be three winners drawn at 1:45 p.m., each receiving $100 in Chamber gift certificates, which can be used at any of the 400 Chamber member businesses. Winners not in attendance will be called to pick up their gift certificates.
“This is going to be a great day in downtown Troy. We hope everyone will find time in their day to stop by, grab some food, check out the electric cars, do some gaming and support our downtown businesses in Troy” said Mushill. This event is made possible utilizing tourism funding from the City of Troy, assistance from Jarvis Township and the coordination by the Chamber.
On behalf of the Troy/Maryville/St. Jacob/Marine Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, Ambassadors and Chamber members, thank you for a great 40 years. For more information on the Chamber or the event, visit www.troymaryvillecoc.com or give them a call at 618-667-8769.
