Dear Chamber Friends,

September leaves us with beautiful sunny days and crisp mornings. It was a

month of celebration around Selah and for the Selah Chamber of Commerce.

First we were thrilled to announce the Chamber’s award winners –Business of

the Year: Broadway Bound, Member of the Year: Clay Graham and Emerging

Business of the Year: Artistic Minds. We were so pleased to honor the

contributions they each make to Selah. Next the Selah Base Race and Fall

Festival turned Carlon Park into a hub of family fun. The Chamber served

breakfast to over 300 hundred runners! It was great to see whole families, co-

workers and friends enjoying the morning running with over a hundred

Japanese soldiers through the Yakima Training Center. Finally last week the

whole town joined in to celebrate the “Viking Way” with Selah School Districts

homecoming week. It was great to see all the pride displayed from our

business community!

Friday, October 7th kicks off our 12th annual Cowgirl Up For A Cure! Grab your

friends and get your tickets now ladies to join us for a boot stompin’ good time.

We’ll have all your favorite things, terrific food from Staci’s catering, shopping

bling from over 20 vendors, fun adult beverages, cowboy servers a star

studded fashion show & so much more! Give Glenda a jingle at the Chamber

698-7303 and lock down your tickets now cuz we won’t be selling at the door.

This year our event benefits North Star Lodge for all the fabulous work they

do.

Thank you Selah businesses, your support and generosity make our town a

wonderful place to live.

God bless,

Jean Brown
