Today is the final day to enter Excel! Estherville's "Why I love Estherville" contest!  All you need to do is send an email to kilrradio@hotmail.com and tell us the reasons you love living in Estherville. The Excel! brand committee will choose the best entry, and the winner gets $100 in Estherville Bucks. 

Bring the kids to the Estherville Library on Thursday March 21st so they can visit the Easter bunny! From 4-6pm, the Easter Bunny will hand out chocolate treats to kids and pose for a photo! Then Easter Story Time will be offered from 6-7pm. We will also be having an Easter retail promotion that evening - we'll email out details next week.

Local organizations, churches and clubs are encouraged to use the online community calendar on the estherville.org website. The calendar was launched in September by the Estherville Area Chamber of Commerce and Excel! Estherville. It was a priority for both organizations to provide a one-stop calendar for those looking for something to do as well as those wanting to schedule an event without conflicting with other similar events.

Anyone running an event or fundraiser in Estherville or Emmet County is urged to look at the events calendar when considering a specific date to avoid conflicts. All are also encouraged to submit their events as soon as they are scheduled to assist others who are planning an event. Anyone can submit an event at no charge – please visit www.estherville.org and click on “Events Calendar”. For questions, please contact the Chamber on 362 3541.

Do you have a new staff member, or are you relocating your business? We need extra eyes and ears in order to stay on top of things for our Ambassador visits. If you have hired a new staff member and would like the Ambassadors to come visit your business, please call the Chamber on 362 3541!
