Chamber Chatter
The Chamber’s first After Hours Block Party was a huge success. The merchants of Glenn Crossing were very appreciative of the Chamber’s efforts to increase the number of customers shopping their stores.
The UPS Store, Burke’s Outlet, Verizon, GNC, Shoe Show, and Hibbett’s Sports provided refreshments and great door prizes.
The WZOB live remote added a fun atmosphere to the event. Doris Hobbs and Jack Martin helped to peak the public’s interest.
Our town is fortunate to have these two individuals helping to promote our area. They both have resumes of hours of volunteer work.
Doris has been the treasurer of the Northeast Alabama Home and Garden Show for the past 28 years.
Jack Martin is part of the country band called Forever Country. He does volunteer work at nursing homes and assisted living programs. His band plays for senior dances.
Doris and Jack are proud to be part of the history of one of DeKalb County’s oldest radio stations. WZOB first came on the air in June of 1950. During the 61 years, the Ted Kirby family has been involved in the station.
Michael and Phyllis Kirby are the present owners. The station has been voted the Best Radio Station in DeKalb County for 17 consecutive years.
The country format strives to serve all of the people of DeKalb County. Swap Shop has put many buyers and sellers together.
Thank you again WZOB for supporting the Chamber’s endeavors to promote and support the local business community. We will “see and hear” you at the next Block Party!
