Harrington Chamber
of Commerce
Wednesday noon, September 2, Cassandra Paffle-Dick called the meeting of the Harrington Chamber of Commerce to order with Kathy Hoob, Cindy Haase, Margie Hall (EDC), Allen Barth, Becca Downing, Ken and Melanie Kennedy, Heather Slack, Summer Clark, Bunny Haugan and Tim of the Hide-Away RV Park attending. Discussion was held on the selection of the “Yard of the Month.” Downing, representing the U.S. Post Office, informed the group of the availability of mass mailing for $47 to notify the community of special events via mail.
Suggestions were made regarding the need to get the community involved in holiday decorating which topic will be revisited at the next meeting. Sept 21 is the scheduled date for Fall Clean-Up Day which the Chamber will coordinate with the school and hope to make use of the Jr. High and High School students for the city projects, giving them the opportunity to gain community service hours.
The Second Annual Community meeting was scheduled for October 22 at 6:30 p.m. in the Opera House Art room with the Chamber hosting. A community “work together” project with all the organizations participating was discussed. The community sign was suggested. Kathy and Cindy volunteered to prepare the agenda.
Margie Hall from the Lincoln County EDC reminded the group of the second annual EDC Connect event. An evening of net working with other county businesses and dinner is scheduled for September 24 from 6 to 8 p.m. in Davenport.
A Reviving Rural Downtowns workshop is scheduled for September 23 and 24 in Ritzville. The charge is $25 per person with advanced registration required.
Discussions regarding the Harrington Fall Festival included considering inviting vendors to the Fall Festival, which Amy Foley is working on with the Lions Club. The Studebaker Garage will have vintage cars on display for the Festival, and the parade will be the responsibility of the Fire District this year. The Opera House will sponsor a magician for Friday evening, September 25.
