On behalf of the Fort Payne Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, Donna and I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Under the leadership of President Brian Baine, the Chamber has experienced great success.
The first After Hours Block Party was held this year. Who would have dreamed that the Halloween Block Party would have more than 2000 people in attendance?
We hope the local businesses have benefited from the Chamber’s events. It is the number one goal of the Chamber to support our existing businesses.
The most recent event, the Fort Payne Christmas parade, had the largest attendance ever. I want to personally thank the Fort Payne Police Department for their efforts in protecting the participants as well as insuring the parade flowed smoothly.
It was an honor to have the Fort Payne Boys Soccer Team as the Grand Marshall. They truly represent our city in such a positive manner.
To the 300+ members of the Chamber, thank you for your continued support.
Our marketing contract with the City Council will be expanded in 2012. Our new campaign, “Fort Payne – the Coolest Place in Alabama” will begin in January.
If you have any ideas you would like to share with the Chamber, please contact us at 256-845-2741 or visit our website at www.fortpaynechamber.com.
Still looking for that nativity scene? Check out the Chamber’s window. It has been part of the Christmas spirit of our city for more than 25 years.
