Weekly Chamber Update August 5th, 2010

I have 3 things to share with you today:

First - The Lake Hartwell Marketing Alliance is hosting the Triple Crown Watercross Competition on Lake Hartwell August 13th through the 15th, at the Big Oaks Recreation Area in Hart County.

On Friday the 13th, each of the 6 counties around the lake is entering a “4-person relay team” and will compete against other “sponsor teams” for the fastest time on the professional watercross race course. The Awards Ceremony and Beach Party is at 4pm.

On Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm - the top U.S. and international competitors will race around obstacles at speeds up to 80 MPH. There is also a Freestyle event with two minute routines of choreographed tricks set to music. There is a beach volleyball tournament, food vendors from each county, an education area for personal watercraft, and a play area for children.

Bleachers will be provided for spectators and will be located on the dam for optimal viewing of the entire ½ mile and ¾ mile course.

Admission to the races and other events is free. There will be a nominal parking fee and shuttle busses will run from the parking area to the venue.

Volunteers are needed to work both days! Please call the Chamber at 706-886-2132 or visit toccoagachamber.com.

Second - Come by the Welcome Center and meet our newest Volunteers. We now provide regular Hospitality Training classes on Toccoa-Stephens County attractions and assets. Please call 706-886-2132 to sign up for the next training class!

Finally – This morning at 10am we have a Ribbon Cutting Celebration at the Toccoa Veterinary Hospital with new owners Dr. Amy - and her husband John Dorminey at their location on Big A Rd. Hope to see you there!

The Toccoa-Stephens County Chamber of Commerce has over 400 members and is growing. The online Business Directory gets over 850 hits a month. Where else can you get that kind of visibility for pennies a day? Come grow with us!

That’s your weekly Update. I’m Wendi Bailey your Toccoa Stephens County Chamber of Commerce President.
