Harrisonville Area Chamber of Commerce Weekly Update - October 26

Turkey Bowl Sponsors Needed
There is only one Turkey Bowl team slot left.  Call the Chamber at 380-5271 to reserve your spot.  The team fee of $125 includes 3 games for 5 bowlers, including shoe rental, pizza and drinks.

Otherwise, if you want to be a part of this fun, wacky evening, you'll have to be a sponsor.  We still have a few openings:

Lane Sponsor
For only $100 you can sponsor a lane and be a part of the fun. Your company name will be displayed above the pins in the lane you sponsor, and you will be listed in the program.  You may provide a goodie bag for each of 5 team members with information about your company and any gifts or promotional items you'd like to provide.  You or your representative may attend to be a part of the evening and cheer your team onto victory.

Beverage Sponsor
For $300 you can buy a round of drinks for all the bowlers.  If you'd like to serve the drinks in cups with your company name, we need 80 twelve-ounce cups from you.  Otherwise, they will be served in Aaron's Westchester Lane's cups, but everyone will know the drinks came from you.  Each drink must be redeemed with a ticket imprinted with your company name.  You will be listed in the program and an announcement will be made that the drinks are provided by your business.

Poker Pool Sponsor
For only $100 you can sponsor the pre-bowling Poker Pool tournament.  Your name will be displayed above two pool tables as the sponsor, you wil be listed in the program as the game sponsor and you or your representative can attend to officiate at the tournament held from 4:30 to 5:45 pm.

New This Year
For the first time this year, we are pleased to have Crown Care Center as the Turkey Bowl's Platinum Sponsor.  Crown Care has been one of this event's most enthusiastic supporters.

This year, the turkeys used in the frozen turkey roll will be auctioned off to the highest bidders.  Last year, the turkeys were both cooked and prepared for Thanksgiving dinner, and proved to be especially tender and tasty.  And the story of their journey to the table via the Turkey Bowl made for some pretty tasty conversation, as well!

Also new this year is a raffle.  This will be everyone's opportunity to win one of several prizes, all provided by Chamber businesses.  Tickets will be sold for $5, and each prize is valued much higher than the ticket cost.  Chances of winning are good since there are many prizes.
