Ribbon Cutting Events/Packages

Want a great way to promote your business to the community? Offer ribbon-cutting, grand opening, or groundbreaking events to celebrate. It's a great way to promote your business to the community!

We will need the following information to get started:

  • Business name, address, telephone number, and coordinator's name.
  • Event name, event details, for example:
  1. Date and time (start and the end of the event).
  2. Will you offer complimentary food/snacks and beverages?
  3. Will you offer some promotions, giveaways, or raffles?
  4. Will there be tours, or any other details, that we should know about?
  5. Would you like our Chamber representative to give a speech before the ribbon-cutting? If yes, would anybody from your business like to give a speech as well (if yes, please provide contact information)?
  6. Do you have a deadline for RSVPs?
  • Logos and/or event flyer for the virtual event invitation (PNG or JPEG format).
  • Do you want it to be a public event or only for the members of the Chamber?
  • Do you have a limitation on how many people can attend and any other preferences?

We ask for four weeks' notice if you would like to schedule a ribbon cutting. 

Please note that the $150 ribbon-cutting fee and membership dues should be paid four weeks before the event. Otherwise, the event will be rescheduled.

The Chamber does not guarantee the high attendance of the Chamber members. It is the responsibility of the member to advertise the event.
