One of the main objectives of the Wahpeton Breckenridge Area Chamber of Commerce is to promote the cities we love to live and work in. We know we have amazing communities but how do we showcase that to others who do not live here or who are not familiar with our area? How do we encourage others to move their families and start new businesses in Wahpeton and Breckenridge?
One of the ways the Chamber helps to promote our communities is through the events that we participate in each year. Blue Goose Days, Borderline Chalkfest and Headwaters Days are three of the larger events we participate in and are designed to draw people to our community. We also assist in smaller downtown events such as the yearly Wine Walk, Java Jump, Shoppers On The Hunt, Small Business Saturday and the Holiday Cookie Crawl. All these events create a buzz in our community and get people interested in what we are doing.
Dear Friend of the Chahinkapa Zoo,
Weâre nearing the end of 2020. Many people would gladly wish the year farewell, as it brought much fear, loneliness and the unknown.
A year ago, I didnât fully understand what a âpandemicâ could entail. I am still learning and navigate each new day by mandates, statistics and projections as they come my way. Our zoo team found much encouragement from the many visitors this summer.
In fact, attendance was up in every demographic, including an increase in senior visitation. I find this a sign that people felt safe in the outdoors and in our little niche on the North DakotaâMinnesota border. There were numerous first-time visitors who then returned for future ventures.
