Traverse Area Chamber of Commerce 2016 Annual Celebration
A big year for a big Northern Michigan town and only one night to sum it all up.
Local businesses, organizations and lawmakers came together at Friday night's Traverse Area Chamber of Commerce 2016 Annual Celebration.
Chamber Executive Director, Laura Oblinger, says, “The chamber has always found it important to take that time to recognize the successes of the past year and look forward to the next.”
But this event is not just a celebration, it's an opportunity.
Oblinger says, “Tonight's a perfect example of building relevant connections with other business people that will help grow your business through those connections.”
CEO of Chateau Chantal Winery, Marie-Chantal Dalese says, “For someone that has a business somewhat outside of downtown Traverse City, it really gives me a chance to meet a lot of other business owners to gain some guidance in perspective and learn from those other business leaders.”
Regardless the size of the business, everyone in the room shares the same goal for the new year.
Communications Director of Team Elmer’s, Tonya Wildfong, says, “As a community big or small, we all have the same interests; trying to help, trying to strengthen each others' business and trying to grow Traverse City as a community.”
The chamber is glad the celebration can do that for its community. Read more: 9 & 10 News

Frankfort Area Chamber interest: Sower Latest Mayoral Candidate
Frankfort City Commissioner John Sower filed Monday as the latest candidate for this year’s mayoral election.
He’ll face incumbent Mayor Bill May and challenger Tim Childers in a primary this May to narrow the field down to two, ahead of this November’s general election.
Sower, who served as Frankfort mayor from 1980-1983, said his priorities include reducing drug use and crime, implementing the 10-year plan for stormwater mitigation, retrofitting the Capital Plaza area for mixed-used residential and commercial development and strengthening ties between the community and Kentucky State University.
“In the time that I have served as city commissioner, I am pleased with what has been accomplished and I have the energy and desire to do more,” Sower said. “I am particularly proud of the effort to clean up and further beautify Frankfort and the advances made in historic preservation for both residential and commercial owners. I am also proud of the long work begun to mitigate storm water damage to our neighborhoods.”
Sower said his return to local government is in response to calls to move the city forward.
“Working hand in hand with the [Frankfort Area Chamber of Commerce], Downtown Frankfort Inc., Kentucky Capital Development Corporation and other community partners, together, we can generate more jobs and provide a community that will not only retain its high school and college graduates, but will attract more people that want to call Frankfort home,” Sower said.
Mayor May filed for re-election earlier this month, and told The State Journal he will be releasing more information about his platform later this week. Read more: State-Journal
