Out Here we make things happen! Congrats to
our Chamber for a great 2017 and best
wishes for a fantastic upcoming year.
Speaking of great times ahead, this
year the Dawson County Tourism
Business Improvement District (TBID)
will break the $300,000 mark in total
grants since 2011 that assists events or
projects that bring tourism to our area.
These grants are partnerships the TBID
has with an event or project committee
where we agree to help with some of
their costs as long as it promotes good
things in the area to the good people we
seek to bring here. “Heads in beds” is
the term we use as it is by law the
county’s motel industry that is the basis
for TBID. Aside from the grants, TBID
also funds cool things like billboards,
advertising, website, promotional
materials and maps either on our own
or in joint ventures with friends like the
Glendive Convention Visitors Bureau
and Glendive Chamber. The best part
about TBID is that it is funded by adding
only $1 per night to area motel room
charges. Unlike the bed tax, all of that
one dollar stays right here! Now since
the purpose of the district is to fill more
motel rooms through tourism, and since
room rents are paying an extra dollar to
fund the district – you get it now, right?
While they are here they “STAY, PLAY,
SHOP, REPEAT”. It’s a wonderful thing
for us all! If you are involved in the
planning process of a project that will
bring leisure or business tourism to
Dawson County, feel free to contact
TBID at [email protected] or
Connie Hilger at 406-989-0686 to see
how we can help move your project to
the next level in hopes of showing off
our little piece of badlands paradise to
the world.
Building Connections that keep the community moving forward.
Chat with Christine
As I write this for the Chatter, I find my mind is overloaded and wandering. How many fish will come in today for paddlefish harvest? Will the anglers arrive to help us fill the quota? Will I have my tourism presentation done in time? Will I get my son back off to college for his summer transmissions program? Lots to think about. What it means for the Chamber is we are busy and moving forward at a very consistent fast pace.
We are already seeing travelers and visitors at our Visitor Information Center so the summer is off to a very nice start. If your business has informational flyers or other promotional information you would like at the VIC for visitors please bring them to our office. We do have a great area day trip scenic stops and inspirational places map from SE Montana so bring you visitors to get ideas of what to do and where to explore when they visit this summer. Remember, the www.visitglendive.com web site is a great place to start to find events, places to explore and activities available right here in our community. June is full of activities so plan to take some time and get out and enjoy! June 8-9th we kick off another great season for Makoshika State Park with Buzzard Days, the Enchanted Room Quilt Show, Kirke Vintage Market and other great ShopGlendive events. The Chamber is pleased to host the Miss Montana “Shoe Us Your Shoes” parade, Friday, June 15th at 1 pm. This will be followed by our annual community ice cream social downtown at the Gazebo! Father’s Day weekend also showcases the Dawson County Fair Carnival & Outdoor Show along with the first Bump-n-Run Saturday June 16th. Follow these great events with the Badlands Drifter’s Car Show June 22nd & 23rd and the Abate Poker Run and you will have an exciting and jam packed June! Remember to get your organizational events into the community calendar by simply logging on the www.glendivechamber.com, go to the Calendar of Event and take a few minutes to fill out the form. This is free service for all in our community so lets fill that calendar up.
As we look beyond June the Chamber is planning for some other exciting events. We will host the first Annual Downtown Rumble 3on3 Basketball ½ court tournament, July 14-15th which will also be the Crazy Dayz weekend. Get your registrations in! This tournament is for 4th grade all the way through “old-timer” (over 30) adults. Planning is also in full swing for the BBQ in the Badlands, September 29th, and this year we are bringing a new event to Glendive with the Badlands Women’s Expo. This will be two days of inspiration to foster entrepreneurial spirit and networking opportunities to grow women owned businesses and strengthen professional skills. Judy Blunt, author of “Breaking Clean” will be our keynote and this promises to be a premier event for our region. If you would like to volunteer to help with any of these exciting events please contact our office at, 406-377-5601 we’d love to plug you in to all we are doing at your chamber.
Well, I need to be off to the river soon, so I hope your summer is filled with sunshine, adventure, safe travels and a little bit of time on the porch enjoying friends and neighbors. Remember our Visitor infor-mation when you are hosting friends and families. If you stop and fill out an invite postcard we will be happy to mail those to your guests. Thank you all for being Glendive ambassadors with us and let’s get out and Live Glendive!
Sincerely,
Christine Whitlatch
