Greetings!
This is Education Minnesota break for schools in Minnesota. We wish all students and families a fun and safe long weekend.
This Thursday, October 20th is the annual Pope County Salute to Business and Industry. This year we are honoring Glacial Ridge Health System at Lakeside. Check in begins at 11:30 a.m. and the luncheon and program will begin at 12:00 noon.
The buffet luncheon will be Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes, gravy, vegetable and cake. Cost is $15 per plate.
If you haven't registered do so today!
Businesses, agencies, organizations, clubs, and volunteers are needed to make our community Trick or Treat event successful. In the past, we have had volunteers from the Alexandria Blizzard team. This year, their schedule does not allow them to participate. We need to have a representative from your business, agency, etc. to help pass out candy for 200-250 children.
As always, there is plenty to do in Glenwood and Pope County! Check out the calendar of events on our website or on the left column of this newsletter.
Have a good week!
We would like to congratulate Western Community Partners as being chosen as the Glenwood Lakes Area Chamber October Member of the Month!

Registration Now Open for Pope County Community Expo Sponsorships
Click here to become a Sponsor of the
Pope County Community Expo
Saturday, April 8, 2017
Minnewaska Area High School
9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Click here to see the current map for Sponsors and Exhibitors. The map, if you scroll over the booths, will show if they are available or already taken, prices, sizes, and amenities that are included. Once a booth is reserved (first-come, first-serve), another exhibitor will not be able to select it.
Sponsors will choose their booth(s) and upload their logos into the system at the time of registration. Booth locations are limited, so be sure to register early to get the spot(s) you wish to choose.
One work around that we are aware of is that the registration system will charge our sponsors for their booth rental fees at the time they register, but know that once you are registered, we will correct that pricing and issue a new invoice for Sponsors from our office until we find a way around that issue.
Here are the following Sponsorship levels for this year's event:
Gold: $2,500.00
Gold sponsors are entitled to:
- Logo on promotional give-away items
- Booth location(s) selected prior to regular exhibitor registration opening
- 3 standard booths OR 1 premium booth plus 1 standard and/or outdoor booth

- 1/4 page color ad in the Pope County Community Expo Special Edition Newspaper
Silver: $1,750.00
Silver sponsors are entitled to:
- Booth location(s) selected prior to regular exhibitor registration opening
- 2 standard booths OR 1 premium booth
