Tofield Chamber of Commerce showcases local businesses

The Tofield Legion was abuzz on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 26, as the Tofield Chamber of Commerce hosted their Annual Showcase, inviting all their member organizations to come together in a friendly environment and mingle with one another.

“We just wanted to give local businesses an opportunity to get to know the other businesses in town,” said Sue Muma, secretary at the Tofield Chamber of Commerce. “Unfortunately, we didn’t have a big turnout and the attendance was lower than we expected, so the networking benefits of the event ended up being far greater than the exposure we were hoping all participants would get.”

Considering it was an informal business mixer, Muma was happy that Beaver County councillor Kevin Smook and Mayor of Tofield Deb Dueck were able to visit.

The Welcome Basket stall was run by Brenda Chehade and Sandy Brolly. A part of the Town of Tofield initiative, this program welcomes newcomers to the community and gives them an insight into the various local services and businesses in town.

“We were happy to welcome dignitaries like Kevin Smook and Deb Dueck, and local business owner Dave Hare of IGA,” Muma added. “Dave Spilchen of Spilchen Consulting Services Ltd. was really happy and said it was a big opportunity for him that he was able to interact and connect with so many local businesses.” . . . contd.
