What can we here at the Chamber say but, “THANK YOU!”

The 2015 Logan County Tobacco and Heritage Festival was a well-attended, rip-roaring good time, and the weather was perfect — I joked and said it was a day that could only be brought to you by the Chamber of Commerce!

Speaking of the weather, we were watching every weather forecast, blog and even asking old-timers on a park bench Friday night before Parade Day when a mini-monsoon floated above Logan County. But when the day started Saturday I remembered the words of so many Logan Countians over the past few months, “Don’t worry, it never rains two parades in a row.” Thanks to all the soothsayers, who also are festival fans, out there!

Humongous thanks to all of the Tobacco and Heritage Festival Committee members, the volunteers and sponsors: especially our Chair Paige Dockins, Co-Chair Krystal Gunderson, Assistant Director Amanda Baker, Parade Chair Richard Estes and President Shane Hayes.

The big event just wouldn’t happen without any of your support.

Let’s all pat ourselves on the back and in a few days we can start planning for the next one!

RIBBON CUTTING FOR QUIK FIT

On Oct. 1 we had a great time looking over the new 24-hour exercise facility at Quik Fit, also located at Logan Plaza, before the ribbon cutting. Thanks to owner Eric Benningfield and his staff for a great time!
