Recycling Drop-Off Waterama City Park Boardwalk Sales Registration Now Open! Waterama City Park Boardwalk Sales Sponsored by the Glenwood Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce Due to the 2018 Complete Streets Project taking place this summer in Glenwood, we will NOT be holding the Downtown Crazy Days sales on Thursday and Friday during Waterama weekend as we have traditionally done in the past! Instead, we will hold all vendor sales at the City Park ONLY!! In addition, due to the nature of the amount of work and lack of volunteers, this year we will NOT have the gators available for helping vendors haul products to their locations across the Park. We apologize for this inconvenience, but we are just not able to offer that service this year. In addition, since the North side of the City Park is part of the official detour route, there are parking restrictions that may still be in place during Waterama. Weather permitting, that portion of the street project is planned to be completed and the parking restrictions lifted, but again, that's weather permitting! Waterama City Park Boardwalk Sales Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 27. 28 & 29, 2018, Glenwood City Park Vendors can choose to set-up on Thursday at no additional cost if you wish to, but we need to know ahead of time if you wish to sell on Thursday also! Set-up Time: 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. Friday morning Sales Time: 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Cost: $60.00 for all three days! Chamber members can enter the discount code: Member (case sensitive) and receive a 50% discount on the weekend activities. Location: Glenwood City Park, Glenwood, Minnesota, Lakeshore Drive, Glenwood, MN 56334 Click here to register for this event! Registration ends on July 25, 2018 Chamber Cup Golf Tournament (Early Bird Registration Now Open) This four (4) person BEST BALL SCRAMBLE is the major fundraiser event of the summer for the Glenwood Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce!
