Harvest Hops and Grapes Fun!

The Chamber held the 14th annual Harvest Hops and Grapes event on Saturday, October 16th.  Many thanks to the community for supporting our annual fund-raising event.  This year, we had a sold-out event.

Thanks again Winnemucca and all the supporting businesses and organizations who donated their time, goods and services to our event.  We couldn't have done it without you.

Ribbon Cutting at Bare Beauty Boutique

On Tuesday, October 5th, Teya Brown, owner of Bare Beauty Boutique, did the honors and Mayor Di An  Putnam and  Members of the Chamber Board of Directors ushered in the new member.

Candidates Night

The Chamber hosted their bi-annual Candidates Night, with a record 220 in attendance.  Members of the Community were given the first hour to shake hands and ask their own questions in an informal format, and at 7:00 began a formal question and answer period, commentated by Chamber Director Theresa Mavity.  A one minute self introduction and then questions--posed by the community, and written on note cards--were asked of the candidates and each were given two minutes to answer.

Due to time constraints,  only 3-4questions  were asked of each candidate.  A  one-minute follow up was then allowed by each candidate for office.

The Humboldt County Chamber of Commerce does not endorse any political candidate for office, and we wish them all well.

Our thanks to all who attended.

And finally, the ribbon.....
