Chamber discusses pageant parade

Thursday evening, the Hot Springs-Thermopolis Chamber of Commerce visited about encouraging more businesses to participate in the Gift of the Waters Pageant parade. Chamber Executive Director Meri Ann Rush noted having a float in the parade also provides businesses with additional advertising.

Applications for the parade may be picked up at the Chamber of Commerce office, and must be submitted no later than Friday, Aug. 4.

Also during the meeting, the board selected Toby Homi, Robin Griffin and Vivian Butchart for the nomination committee. The committee is tasked with coming up with a slate of those interested in board seats expiring Oct. 31.

This year, expiring seats belong to Tracy Linko, Dennis Nierzwicki, Kerri Manig and Amanda Kraushaar. Those four members are also eligible for re-election if they choose. A slate of those interested in the seats will be presented at the Aug. 10 meeting.

Those who are interested or who have any questions can contact Rush at 864-3192.

Rush also noted during the meeting that the final public meeting in regard to the solar eclipse will be 6 p.m. Monday, July 24 at the Hot Springs County Museum.
