Upcoming Events
What we are planning:
March 12 -16 Beaver Round-Up
The Dillingham Chamber of Commerce was pleased to sponsor the 2008 Beaver Round-Up Festival in its 50th year!
The beavers have returned home, energized by the 2008 Round-Up, to polish their teeth and await breakup. There will then be lots to do - building, fishing, raising youngsters. But no matter how frenetic the busy beavers' summer becomes, they will remember with affection those wonderful days of the Round-Up's mid-winter camaraderie. They are looking forward to the seeing you there. Be sure to check out the Round-Up website.
April 3 - 6, 2008, Alaska Sportsman Show, Anchorage Sullivan Arena
If you have material promoting your business bring it to the Chamber's office
and we will take it with us to the show. Members also have the opportunity
to help staff the table. If you willl be in the Anchorage area during the show we would be pleased to purchase your ticket into the show, if you volunteer to staff the booth for a few hours. It's a great chance to talk to prospective customers face to face.
