Cowgirl Salvage hasn't even had their official Grand Opening and  residents are already beating a path to the door.  Great pricing,  unique items and a friendly owner, Julie Lanford, makes the shop   quite a draw.  Come see for yourself.

We are excited about Christmas on Main 2018. We want this to be the biggest and best event of the year. Working in conjunction with the City there will be great activities going on from 9AM until after the Parade of Lights, which is at 6PM and followed by Cookies and Hot Chocolate with Santa.  If you enjoyed the Horse and Wagon ride last year, they are back again and this time you get to ride with a Select Elf who will tell you all about living at the North Pole and working with Santa.  Each child will receive a goody bag.

You may pickup a Vendor Application from the Chamber of Commerce, 168 E. 4th St, or email info@bensonchamberaz.com.  Together we can make this a fantastic day!

Benson will be the first rural town in America to host a national St Jude Children’s Research Hospital walk on November 3rd at Lions’ Park from 9am to 1pm. Although there will not be CNN live coverage, the nation will be watching to see what a small town can do. The success of this walk will NOT be simply in terms of donations. It is also a neighborhood block party to celebrate our healthy kids while helping those less fortunate. There will be a hula hoop contest, bean bag toss, connect three game, rock painting, dream catchers, wood car kits from Home Depot and Christmas ornament tables. There will also be a very unique activity at 12:30 where we will be laying down quarters around the infield bases.
We would love to score a home run in the first year.

There will be raffles for local goods and services and a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee from Jim Click. You are the business leaders in the San Pedro Valley. Your question is what do we want from you? And the answer is ANYTHING you can do! It can be as simple as sharing this article with your friends and family. It can be a donation for the raffle. You can start a team advertising your business and community support. Or raid your change jars and bring the quarters to help hit a home run.

Please keep in mind that this is the FIRST time this has been done in a small town and we welcome YOUR input and participation. This is your community and you can choose to be a part of history. In doing so, you will be helping our children learn social responsibility and compassion while having fun on a Saturday morning at the park. That will be making priceless memories. We are working on getting stickers for the kids that say: I helped fight childhood cancer today.








Here are our local sponsors so far. We are placing their logos on a flyer to be posted at local businesses. Want your logo on the flyer or have an idea to improve the party, please contact us. Let’s make this the BEST event and make Benson/St David look good!

"Do you know the address of Maria Gomez?" asked a woman who telephoned the Chamber. We told her that we did not have her address, nor did we even know who she was. We suggested the caller telephone information and probably they would have a telephone number for her so she could get the address. "Well," the woman replied, "I thought the Chamber of Commerce had a people finder book."
 

A man came into the office and told us he was looking for an old friend. He said that he knew his first name but could not remember his last. He wanted to know if we would perhaps know a man named Bob something?
