Ribbon Cuttings
Chamber members can apply for a ribbon cutting each year. If you have something to celebrate, we want to help!
Here are some great reasons to host a ribbon cutting with the Chamber:
- Opening a new business
- Introducing new ownership or management
- Re-opening after a change
- Revealing a remodel or expansion
- Celebrating a move or new location
- Unveiling a product, promotion, or service
- Celebrating an anniversary
You can schedule a ribbon cutting with our Director of Events, Amanda Ray, by phone or email.

- Prepare some words – Someone from the team at The Chamber will begin by welcoming you and your guests.Then, someone from your team will be asked to speak about your business. Be prepared to offer insights including a brief history of your business, your products and services, your location, hours of operation, and contact information.
- Expand the guest list – The Chamber promotes ribbon cuttings on its calendar, eBlasts, social media, and invites board members & city officials. Make your event special by inviting colleagues, clients & customers, family, friends, and members of your community.
- Make it your own – Consider if you would like to decorate, offer light refreshments, or provide giveaways for those in attendance.
The Chamber hosts Ribbon Cuttings during the work day. We like to begin the ceremony at the time of the scheduled event, and the ceremony usually takes no longer than 10 minutes. However, many members choose to host a Grand Opening or Open House event with a longer duration to coincide with their Ribbon Cutting.
