Halloween is just around the corner and the Ferndale Chamber of Commerce is pleased to present many activities to keep the Ferndale community entertained!

Pumpkin People
Ferndale businesses are encouraged to put together a pumpkin person. These should be up by October 24. A Pumpkin Person winner will be announced October 31 and will receive a prize as well as a social media shout out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Downtown Trick or Treat
Join us for the best trick or treating experience in Ferndale!
This free, fun and safe outdoor event takes place on Saturday, October 29 from 3-5 p.m. along Main Street and draws over1,500 children from all over Whatcom County.
With over 40 stops at local businesses there will be plenty of candy to go around.
Maps can be picked up after October 20 at the Ferndale Chamber of Commerce, Ferndale Mini Mart and at the Ferndale Public Library or online.

Haunt the Park
In addition to Downtown Trick or Treat, we are proud to present our second annual Haunt the Park, co-hosted with the Ferndale Heritage Society. In our first annual event, held in 2015, we saw over 1,300 attendees. Kids and their families head down to Pioneer Park directly after Downtown Trick or Treat from 5-7pm for trick or treating of the historic decorated cabins, carnival themed family-fun activities, as well as some creepy zombies!

Due to an increased cost to the Chamber, we will be increasing the price of our luncheons beginning in February 2017.  Pre-registered lunches will increase to $20 per person and non-RSVP or late RSVP lunches will increase to $22 per person.
As it is being requested that we provide our number of attendees to the Silver Reef sooner, we will also be asking members to RSVP by the Friday before the luncheon in order to receive the pre-registered rate.
“We want to thank the Silver Reef for affording us many years of a great deal for such a fabulous lunch,” said Ann Serwold, Executive Director of the Ferndale Chamber.
“We are past due for an increase and with an increase to the Chamber, unfortunately this means passing that cost down to our members. We look forward to continuing to provide a quality program during our luncheons and will be looking for ways to add more value in 2017.”

Over the last few years we have worked tirelessly to add lots of exiting opportunities for your business to get involved with our events and programs and get the most bang for your buck.
From events such as the Street Festival and Haunt the Park, which work to connect businesses to the community as well as events like Membership Luncheons and the Annual Banquet which work to connect businesses to other businesses, there is something for everyone and we encourage you to take advantage of these opportunities.
What’s even better? If you schedule your sponsorship for 2017 and commit at a certain monetary threshold, you begin to receive discounts on your sponsorship, giving your an even better bang for your buck.
If you would like to meet with us and talk about sponsorship options through the Chamber for 2017, please contact Kelsey at [email protected] or 385-3042 and she would be more than happy to  chat with you.
Investing in your community is an important step when it comes to getting your businesses name out there as a trusted resource.
We are looking forward to hearing from you and helping you stretch your advertising dollars further.  Contact us now to make sure you get the best options available before they are taken!
