Fannin Chamber Monthly Newsletter May 2013 eNewsletter
Business After Hours Tuesday, May 21 The Vine Wine Bar & Bistro 632 East Main Street - Blue Ridge 5:30 to 7 p.m. Bring a door prize and business cards! 700 Members and Counting! We are very proud to announce that the Chamber now has 700 members, the largest number since the economic downturn. This is a sign that the economy is showing more signs of recovery. We thank each and every one of our members for their support and confidence. In Fannin County, we can truly say that "Together we Prosper." * Sadly we must say goodbye to Dot and Ed Quinn, who are retiring from E. Quinn Bookseller after 14 years. They are going to the Outer Banks to be near the grandkids. Thankfully E. Quinn's has new owners, who will continue the character of the business established by the Quinn's. *The Sweet Shoppe has a hot new look, according to Nicki Gribble and Susan Catron. They are back open, so go by and see the remodeling -- and better yet have a cupcake! * Miracles for Hair and Nails is celebrating their 20th Anniversary TONITE, May 7th, from 5 to 8 p.m. Miracles has been a member of the Chamber since 1993! Sheila, Connie and Nadia invite you to drop in to celebrate and enjoy refreshments and door prizes. * Happy Mother's Day from Serenity in the Mountains. They are offering Mother's Day specials on Thursday, May 9th. All ladies will receive a rose, chocolate covered strawberries and a complimentary drink all week! Ladies night is tonight from 5 to 7 p.m. * The Waffle King is sponsoring Thunder in the Mountains Motorcycle Rally on May 18th, with barbecue, vendors, activities and motorcycle riding.

Tourism News ... * Tank Town USA Tank Town USA was featured in the AJC last weekend: perfect gift for Fathers Day (or maybe Mothers Day?) http://www.ajc.com/news/lifestyles/drive-a-tank-crush-a-car/nXbnL/. * Last Chance for The North Georgia Farm Trail! The Georgia Mountain Parkway Group, including chambers in Ellijay, Blue Ridge, Blairsville and Hiawassee, is producing a guide to agritourism attractions in North Georgia, including orchards, vineyards, riding stables and more. If your business is an agritourism attraction, you won't want to miss this opportunity to showcase your business and the deadline to advertise is just around the corner. Call Content Creative at 706-838-5230. * City Sophistication - Small Town Charm Blue Ridge was featured in the April edition of Points North Magazine in a great article filled with pictures. You can see it at http://issuu.com/points_north_mag/docs/pointsnorthmag_april13?mode=window * The Chamber's New Logo The Chamber's new logo (shown at the top of the newsletter) integrates Georgia's Blue Ridge and the Fannin County Chamber and Visitors Bureau into one brand. It also matches the logo of the Fannin County Development Authority for consistency. If you would like to use the logo on your website or promotional materials, let us know and we'll send you a copy.
