Chamber Chatter by Lynne Burns October 13, 2011
Wednesday, October 12, 2011 at 6:14PM I bet you have all been anxiously been waiting for the announcement of the winners of the Second Architectural Scavenger Hunt. A big drum roll please… The winner of the Ancestors of Council Grove and Hitching Posts is Jared Furmant Jr. Out of the many correctly answered entries, Jared’s was drawn out, and now he is the winner of a $25 chamber gift certificate. The answers to this scavenger hunt were 1. Last Chance Store, 2. Seth Hays Headstone, 3. Sara E. Conn Headstone, 4. The Hays House, 5. 102 Stevens, and 6. The Post Office Oak Museum. Jared, stop by the Council Grove/Morris County Chamber of Commerce and Tourism office anytime Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 and 5 to pick up your chamber gift certificate; and by the way, congratulations!
The children’s architectural scavenger hunt also had plenty of correct entries turned in. To me, it seemed like a much harder scavenger hunt to complete. The correct answers to this one were: 1. Custer Park; 2. Durland Park; 3, Fairground Park; Rotary (Riverwalk ) Park; 5. Washington School; 6. Council Grove Elementary School; and 7. Council Grove Elementary School. Tyler Wright’s name was drawn out of the box; he has also won a chamber gift certificate. Tyler, way to go! Make sure to stop by and pick up your chamber gift certificate. We will have our next architectural scavenger hunts out just in time for the holiday season. Watch for the scavenger hunt on Facebook, our website at councilgrove.com, and in area businesses.
Fall in the Flint Hills is sure a lovely time of year, and we sure have had lots of visitors in Council Grove enjoying the area. Women’s church groups, bicyclists, retired teachers, even a horseback rider going down Main Street; however, this weekend will be really busy. Friday night, from 5 to 8 p.m., don’t miss out on Art Block Party II in the 200 block of West Main. Events will be going on at Alexander Artworks and The Blackie Nelson Gallery, Historic Grounds, Valerie’s Gifts and Such, La Hacienda, and Flint Hills Mercantile. There will be cowboys, bats, and werewolves, oh my!
Saturday, there will be nearly 350 Boy Scouts in the area, camping at Canning Creek Cove at Council Grove Reservoir. You will see Scouts all over town, on historic tours, hikes, and all kinds of other activities. A special thank you to all the Scout leaders who helped to arrange Council Grove as the location for this Scouting event!
Next Friday, October 21st, Farmers and Drovers Bank is sponsoring a community team day. They are asking the community to help fill Care and Share’s pockets by showing your support for your favorite team. With a $5 donation, made by October 20, at Farmers and Drovers Bank supporters can wear their favorite school colors the following day. Care and Share is in need of our help; and what better way to do it.
Planning is underway for the annual Chamber Banquet, set for Thursday, November 10, at 6:30 p.m. The banquet will be held this year at the Council Grove High School Commons Area; and the theme will be Heritage Harvest. Tables for decorating by businesses are available at $30 each or two for $50. Please call the chamber office now at 620-767-5413 to reserve your tables, or email us at chamber@tctelco.net. We will have more information available soon about the annual chamber banquet. Also, please watch for information on Facebook at Council Grove/Morris County Chamber of Commerce and Tourism, and on our website at www.councilgrove.com
Washunga Days 2012 committees are moving right along in planning and preparation of the 30th annual event to be held next year. Because of issues with the carnival, it was voted not to invite back the same carnival company. However, we were not able to locate another carnival company, so we have decided that Washunga Days 2012 will not have a carnival.
The entertainment committee has lots of new ideas, and is getting ready to run a sponsorship drive for the event. There is still plenty of time to get involved, all you have to do is come to a meeting. We have not yet set the date for the next Washunga Days 2012 meeting, however, please continue to watch The Republican for more information. We also have a Facebook page: Washunga Days you can go to and “Like.”
As always, if you have any ideas, suggestions, or even complaints, please give our office a call, email, or stop by Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. I will be happy to talk with you. I am always open to suggestions. Have a wonderful weekend, and enjoy this beautiful fall weather!

Words have a magical power. They can bring either the greatest happiness or deepest despair; can transfer knowledge from teacher to students words enable the orator to sway his audience and dictate its decisions. Words are capable of arousing the strongest emotions and prompting all man's actions. Do not ridicule the use of words in psychotherapy. (Sigmund Freud, German Psychiatrist)-replica ferragamo shoes

Telling the truth, in personally opinion, Project Runway Season 9 DVD is the most attractive fashion show, even better than the secret of Victoria as it focuses on common people’s fashion sense and trend instead of only provide the stage for those top models. Project Runway season 9 dvd release date focuses on fashion design and is hosted by model Heidi Klum. The contestants compete with each other to create the best clothes and are restricted in time, materials and theme. Their designs are judged, and one or more designers are eliminated each week. Project Runway premiered its first season on December 1, 2004.
