The Washington Chamber of Commerce is getting back into hosting its Alive After Five events this spring and summer with an open house at one of their member businesses Tuesday.
Alive After Five is a community networking event hosted exclusively by Washington Chamber members which typically highlight new business ventures, remodeling, relocations, and more. Chamber Event Coordinator Alisha Davis says this month’s event will be at KCTC in downtown Washington, “They’re kind of doing a Cinco de Mayo theme and offering a lot of giveaways and prizes and information about their service. So I think that’ll be a really fun one to go to and bring the whole family.”
Washington-area residents shouldn’t sit on their talent for a fundraising event that’s a year in the making.
The Washington Chamber of Commerce along with the LET’s Center for the Healing & Creative Arts are hosting a Chair-A-Thon Auction to raise funds for community murals, the first that is scheduled to be painted this July on the east side of the State Theatre. Chamber Event Coordinator Alisha Davis says the auction was going to be held last summer but will now be held during the same week as the mural painting, along with some other community art events.
Davis is calling on artists of all ages to participate, “Basically you can take an old chair and repurpose it or paint it and then it’ll go to auction and the proceeds will go toward the funding for community murals, and the community mural project is something we’re really passionate about. We feel like it’s a great way to show off our community and get people to see things about our community that maybe they did
The Washington Chamber of Commerce is doubling down on the success of their annual fall craft fair with a spring edition next weekend.
Chamber Event Coordinator Alisha Davis says the group has long been wanting to hold the event twice annually, as they’ve held the September event for over 30 years. She says this year has proved as the right time in the Washington area to hold a fair, and the response has been positive, “We have over 86 vendors and that’s about as much as we have for the fall craft fair. So it just is really surprising and wonderful and I think we have a lot of new ones that we haven’t had in the past, so I’m excited for the event and to see who all we’ll have there.”
