We’re Growing!
We are growing! In case you missed it, the February Chamber Luncheon was packed!
Speaker Joseph Danzer, a Google Certified Photographer informed the crowd how to get their business online with Google Search and Maps. It has been exciting to watch the growth of the monthly Chamber luncheons as we continually strive to present programs and opportunities beneficial to your business and family. Thanks goes to luncheon sponsor Lincoln National Bank, and non-profit sponsor LaRue County Public Library and Arrowhead BBQ for catering.
Mark your calendars for this month’s luncheon on Wednesday, March 16 at noon. You don’t want to miss LaRue County’s very own Dale Dobson with the Department of Agriculture highlighting current projects underway and discussing the importance of Ag Safety as we all “Share the Road this Spring.” Please RSVP by noon on Tuesday, March 15, by calling the Chamber office at 270-358-3411.
Due to the nature of this presentation with interactive displays, the March 16 luncheon will be held at First Baptist Church Hodgenville located on 730 Tonieville Road. First Baptist Church will also cater lunch. Citizens Union Bank is the luncheon sponsor and LaRue County Cooperative Extension Service is the non-profit sponsor.

Update for Christmas at Creekfront Displays

The City will start clean up at Creekfront today. If display owners wish to start removal, Mayor DeVore has said they can. City employees will remove tape today. Cones will stay, just move aside to get in and please put back after. For further details, contact the Chamber office 270-358-3411.

As most people are aware, there was flooding at Creekfront during Christmas Eve. Due to the flooding, the majority of the displays have been damaged or destroyed. Mayor Kenny DeVore has closed Creekfront Park until further notice. The deadline to remove displays was originally, Tuesday, January 5th. We are asking those that participated to refrain from picking up displays until we receive further updates from the Mayor’s office. We appreciate your cooperation as the city is dealing with the park’s condition.
