Annual Chamber Activities RIBBON CUTTINGS Whether they recognize new ownership, a grand opening or a major remodel and grand re-opening, ribbon-cutting ceremonies are a special way to mark your business milestone. As a service to member businesses in Springville and Mapleton, the Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce holds ribbon-cutting ceremonies to celebrate their opening and let the public know about what services or products they offer. The chamber’s board of directors and its members are invited to attend as well
as city officials, community members and the Miss Springville/Mapleton Royalty. These ribbon-cutting events create excitement about the new businesses, welcome them to the community, help them get community leaders through their doors and begin the word-ofmouth advertising that is so important. Anyone starting a business in Springville or Mapleton is welcome to call the Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce at 801-491-7830 to set up a time for a ribbon-cutting event.
BUSINESS BINGO Each May, at the end of the school year, the Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce offers a chance for local elementary school students to win great prizes and have fun in the process as part of its Business BINGO program. Business BINGO cards are sent out to elementary school-aged children in Springville and Mapleton during the last week of the school year. On the card is a grid with the names of various local businesses. The students and their families are invited to visit the businesses listed and get a sticker or stamp indicating they have visited the business. Once the student reaches “blackout,” or has all the boxes filled, he or she should turn in the card at the Service Desk on the main floor of the Springville
Civic Center, 110 S. Main. Students will also be able to turn in their cards at the chamber’s Art City Days booth, which will be set up in Civic Center Park June 9-11 during Art City Days. Students will have until 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 11, to turn in their cards. All those who have submitted their cards by then will be entered into a drawing for prizes, which will be held at the chamber’s Art City Days booth shortly after 4 p.m. on June 11. Past prizes have been donated by business members and have included bicycles, prize baskets, jewelry and gift cards. Businesses that are interested in participating in Business BINGO should contact the chamber at 801-491-7830 or info@springvillemapletonchamber.org.
CHAMBER BBQ The Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce is looking forward to its seventh annual Quarterly Networking Family BBQ this summer. This year’s event will be held on Thursday, Aug. 18, at 6 p.m. and is open to all chamber members and their families. It will be held at the large pavilion at Jolley’s Ranch with the menu including grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and all the side dishes required to make it a great meal. This event was created to provide chamber members with an opportunity to get to know each other and their fam28
ilies better and have an opportunity to network in a more relaxed environment than the typical lunch meeting with a guest speaker. Chamber members are invited to attend, relax, and admire the beauty of Hobble Creek Canyon while enjoying each other’s company. There will also be a drawing for prizes donated by local businesses at the event. The barbecue is just one more benefit of being a member of the Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce.
