Greetings! We are currently taking applications for this year’s Farmer’s Market. The goal of the Guthrie Chamber of Commerce sponsored Guthrie Farmer’s Market is to offer locally or Oklahoma grown fresh produce and related products. With the help of our friend Courtney Thompson at the Logan County Health Dept. we applied for a grant this year. The grant money would help us enhance our entrances. This year’s market will begin the first week in June and end the last week in September on First Street between Oklahoma and Harrison Avenue.
We have several things in the works here at the chamber. One of the most exciting is www.MyGuthrieHome.com will which will be a new community website to make it easier for our chamber members to share information about their business. It will also be a site for you to learn what is going on in your Guthrie Home. So keep watching to see what develops. Read next week’s article to see what we unveil next.
The Chamber of Commerce is offering an Educational Series every second Tuesday of every month during the lunch hour. This educational series is designed to provide an opportunity for anyone to learn about topics such as i.e. Business, Insurance, Computers, Fraud, Marketing, Customer Relations, etc. In April the subject will be Insure Oklahoma and Blue Cross/Blue Shield. In May Insurance Commissioner John Doak will be here. He would like to discuss insurance issues, including workers compensation that business owners may be having in the state. This would allow him to take issues to the Capital and try to obtain resolution. June will be about corporations: how to form them, what types there are and why should you form one. Plus, the tax and insurances advantages of forming a corporation. If you have a topic you are interested in teaching or learning more about please contact us.
