Clinton Chamber of Commerce Cancels Business Expo for 2020, Still Planning for Golf Outing

The Clinton Chamber of Commerce had hoped to be able to reschedule their 2020 business expo originally scheduled for March but earlier this month canceled their yearly fundraiser.

 

Executive Director Marian Brisard told Regional Radio News Friday the indoor nature of their event was probably not going to be able to work and doing the event outdoors provided a lot of challenges.

 

 

The Business Expo is one of the many fundraisers put on by the Chamber, like their golf outing. The golf outing has been rescheduled for September and Brisard is optimistic it will be able to happen with some modifications.

 

 

During the spring, the Chamber lost its May Days fundraiser along with the annual Business Expo. Brisard says that is going to take quite a toll on their budget this year but thanks to the First National Bank in Clinton, they did receive funds through the bank's COVID-relief program. 

 

 

Brisard is thankful that many of the vendors that pre-registered for the annual Chamber Expo have volunteered their registration fees back to the Chamber. 

 

Registrations for the annual golf outing are going on now. To register contact the Chamber at 217-935-3364 or visit clintonilchamber.com.
