The Cold Spring Area Chamber of Commerce and the Beacon Chamber of Commerce are hosting a joint mixer. On Thursday, October 26th, they invite you to come meet your business neighbors at the Dutchess Manor (263 Route 9D, Beacon) from 6:00 - 8:00 pm. There will be a chance to talk to fellow “Main Street” business owners and brainstorm around how Cold Spring and Beacon can grow from day trip visits to weekend destinations. Tickets are required for this event ($20 for members, $30 for non-members). Hors-d'oeuvres will be served and a cash bar will be available. This is a fantastic opportunity to come together and help both Chambers grow!
“Located only a few miles apart and linked by a trolley, Beacon and Cold Spring have a common interest in attracting visitors and promoting tourism,” says Nat Prentice, Board Member of the Cold Spring Area Chamber of Commerce. “Getting to know each other better will lead to an expansion of business for the merchants and restaurateurs of both towns.” “I see this as such an opportunity for businesses in both communities to learn from each other and grow into a fabulous weekend destination,” says Rick Brownell, President of the Beacon Chamber of Commerce. “We are two Main Street communities that would thrive on an increase of hospitality in both of our towns. I feel like this event will be the beginning of many productive conversations to help us develop an action plan to see the increase in visitors that both Chambers desire.”
In the heart of the Hudson River Valley, the Cold Spring Area Chamber of Commerce unifies and connects businesses, local community, and visitors. They strive to promote economic vitality and enhance quality of life. The Beacon Chamber of Commerce is committed to the growth and success of the business community. Tourism is the one industry that impacts their members the most. They are engaged with other organizations and the city government, all working together to make Beacon a friendly and exciting destination, not only for visitors but for residents as well.
