GREEN LAKE GREAT CITY WIDE GARAGE SALE, MAY 5, 2007

The Chamber, located at 550 Mill Street, will be participating in Green Lake's Great City Wide Garage Sale for the third year in a row.  Thanks to the generosity of our Chamber Members and individuals in the area there should be a wide variety of items for everyone.  So far, we have mirrors, pictures, household items, furniture and pillows.  Hopefully next month we can give you a more detailed list.  With your help we can have one of THE best sales ever.  All proceeds go toward the Chamber building maintenance fund, which helps all our Chamber Members and our Community as well.  You will see a lot of signs like the sign to your right throughout Green Lake on May 5.

SUMMER SOLSTICE, JUNE 16, 2007

Summer Solstice; Green Lake's Big Pajama Party would like you to help celebrate our 10th Anniversary.  From 10am-5pm participating business will help kick off this event with specials and more.  From 5-10pm participating business will stay open, so that you can still take advantage of their specials, along with enjoying the activities such as: Bed Races, Cutest Pajama Contest, Cutest Bedroom Slipper Contest, Howl at the Moon Contest and Cookie Contest.  There will be food, refreshments and a raffle for Giant Green Lake Baskets, valued at $300 to $1,000.  More information on this event will follow in the next two newsletters.  Per the photo you can see that young and old come out in their pajamas for this event.
