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!

COLOR SPLASH DASH THIS SATURDAY
Rain might not have slowed us down on parade day, but we had
a gully washer on Oct. 3 that forced the organizers to reschedule the Color
Splash Dash to this Saturday (Oct. 17) at 4 p.m. The dash had to be moved to
the Russellville/Logan County Memorial Park as well. So arrive around 3:30 to
sign up (if you already haven’t) and we hope you all have a colorful time!
The cost is $10 per person or $20 for the entire family.
PINK BLUEBERRY HAS RIBBON CUTTING
We had a nice crowd out for the second of two new businesses
and their ribbon-cuttings in the Logan Plaza this week. The Pink Blueberry
Boutique is open and ready to serve all your embroidery, clothing and style
needs. Thanks to the owners and staff for a great morning!
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!
POPPABLES TO HOLD RIBBON CUTTING ON OCT. 21
Poppables Mini Cupcakes & More … will be having a
ribbon-cutting on Oct. 21 from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. with the ribbon cutting
taking place at 8 a.m. I included a flyer on the business in this newsletter.
Poppables is located on 114 N. Winter Street in Russellville next to Crabtree
Furniture. Let’s get a big crowd out for this new and tasty business!
