Summer Bash
target set at $200,000+
 It's
going to be a very busy February as tickets go on sale for a
blockbuster event for Carter County. Then, in September, the
GACC and the Carter County Fair Board will be hosting a gathering
of over 8,000 people from all over the country as they await
the results of a day-long drawing that will encompass $600,000
in prizes. The groups plan to sell 10,000 tickets at $100 each
to raise much needed funds for community development projects
-- the first of which would be the beginnings of a Recreation
Park Complex for the county. Call the Chamber office at 474-4401
for details on how to get involved.
Renaissance
committee gears up in 2003
 The
purpose of the Renaissance Kentucky project is to ensure that
the charm and quality of business life and hometown culture that
exists in our cities is preserved and encouraged to grow. The
plans are multi-phased and can entail anything from selecting
a theme for downtown renovation and rejuvination to creating
and promoting events that will bring people back into the heart
of our beautiful city. What would your hope for the look and
feel of our downtown area? Glass and chrome or vintage Norman
Rockwell Americana? Why not attend the next meeting and be part
of the planning process? Check the Chamber Calendar for the next meeting date and info.
