A Free Picnic lunch was served in Wescott Park , a huge parade traveled down Main Street, there were rides for the kids, and a rodeo featuring the country’s top rodeo cowboys and performers. Fifty Years later, the Cherokee PRCA Rodeo is still going strong, and wouldn’t be possible without the continued support of our business community. There is still time for you and your business to be involved in this year’s event. Decorate your businesses to welcome our cowboy guests, enter the parade, volunteer to help at the rodeo or simply bring your family out for the fun. We’ll see you this weekend! The beautiful hanging flower baskets on Main Street. We could still use volunteers to help water the baskets this summer. Look at the schedule in this newsletter and call the Chamber with a week that will work for you. You can help us raise money for this year’s Fireworks display by calling in your pledge to the annual KCHE Radio Fireworks Fundraiser on Tuesday, June 14. Our goal is to raise $4,000 to make this year’s 4th of July Fireworks Display another great one that people will be talking about. The Annual Chamber Golf Outing is Tuesday, June 21. You have a variety of ways that you could be involved—Enter a team, be a hole sponsor, or donate a door prize. The money raised from this event is used to advertise promotion events like Crazy Days and the Christmas Parade and to market our community. Plans continue to come along for our Customer Appreciation Event and Street Dance on Friday, July 15. We have received some feedback from businesses, but hope more of you get involved. Page 8 of the newsletter has more information on the event and how our business community and individuals can get involved. Cherokee is truly your place to be this summer.

A FREE Street Dance is going to be held on Friday, July 15 (this is during Crazy Days). The gates will open at 6:00 PM and everyone will be admitted free of charge. From 6-8 PM we would like to create a family friendly, carnival type atmosphere. We would like to invite businesses to set up small carnival type games for the kids (young and old alike) to play. We would like to ask businesses to get involved in a number of ways, be it donating money, product or services, or volunteering their time. When we held Hot Dog Days, many businesses appreciated the opportunity to have face time with people. We still want to give business owners and employees that opportunity, but it will be in one central location. We encourage volunteers to wear shirts, hats and nametags to signify what business they represent while working the concession stand, standing at the gate, or helping with games and activities. Please take a moment to review the opportunities for involvement in this event listed below and return to the Chamber of Commerce As Soon As Possible so we may continue with our planning. If you have any questions, please contact Julie at the Chamber at 225-6414. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Business ___________________________________________ Contact Person ____________________________ Phone _______________ My business is willing to help in the following ways: Check all that apply ___ $500 Banner Sponsor (will be recognized on a banner at the gate, in advertising, and throughout the night) ___ My business I will sponsor with a donation of $________ ___ My business will donate door/raffle prizes ____________ ___ My business will sponsor and man a game/activity ___________ ___ We will volunteer with the following: ___Set up ___ Gate – welcome guests, hand out door prize tickets ___ Coke Trailer— serve drinks ___ Beer Garden –ID Wristbands, take money, hand beers ___ Clean up Please return to: Cherokee Chamber of Commerce 201 West Main Street Cherokee, IA 51012 Fax – 225-1991 Cherokee Chamber of Commerce - June, 2016 Contact: Julie@CherokeeIowaChamber.com Phone: 712-225-6414 8 June 2016 Sun May 29 Mon May 30 Tue May 31 Chamber Chat Memorial Day CMN Cookout Wed 1 6 Rotary 12 13 Cash Flow Workshop Fairboard Meeting Rotary 19 20 Sioux Valley Tournament 3Chamber 4 CMN Cookout Coffee RODEO 9 AM Cherokee Stampede Holzhauer Cookout 4 PM Parade 10 11 Chamber Coffee— Keva Boutique (Ribbon Cutting) City Wide Garage Sales 7 8 Ag Committee Noon Young Profes- Farmers Marsionals 5:30 ket 4-6 PM Chamber Chat Dana Evans Vet Affair Lions 14 15 Chamber Board Mtg. 7:00 Chamber Chat Nourished Souls 9 Veterans Appreciation Day 9am –3pm 16 17 Chamber 18 Farmers Market 4-6 PM Coffee— Golf Course Sioux Valley Tournament Fireworks Fundraiser1:30—3:00 21 22 Mary Poppins the Musical 23 24 Chamber 25 Chamber Chat The Gardens Lions Farmers Market 4-6 PM 29 Mary Poppins the Musical 30 July 1 July 2 Mary Poppins Chamber Golf Tournament 26 27 28 Mary Poppins Sat 50th PRCA RODEO Rotary Chamber Chat Cherokee County 4H 2:00 PM Public Planetarium Show Fri 2 Farmers Market 4-6 PM 11:00 Service at Oak Hill Cemetery 5 Thu Farmers Market 4-6 PM Rotary Cherokee Chamber of Commerce - June, 2016 Contact: Julie@CherokeeIowaChamber.com Phone: 712-225-6414 www.CherokeeIowaChamber.com Coffee— Library Chamber Coffee— Nourished Souls (Ribbon Cutting) 9 Cherokee Chamber of Commerce 201 West Main Street Cherokee, IA 51012 #CherokeeRodeo Cherokee Chamber of Commerce - June, 2016 Contact: Julie@CherokeeIowaChamber.com Phone: 712-225-6414 10
