Cottage Grove Area Chamber of Commerce

Cultural Opportunity Grants provide recognition and support to significant cultural programs and projects, with the aim of preserving and enhancing Lane County’s diverse arts, heritage and humanities efforts.  You do not need to be a formally organized 501c3 organization to apply.  Projects that increase access, awareness and education in the areas of arts, heritage and humanities are given top funding priority.

In 2010, the Lane County Cultural Coalition will award over $35,000 in grants to cultural organizations throughout Lane County.  Grants awarded generally range from $500 to $2500.  The deadline for this year’s grant application is April 15, 2010. Please visit website for details: www.laneculture.net

The Greeters are at it again!  Get ready to enjoy the 8th annual Cottage Grove Business Faire!  March 11th from 4:30 to 7:00 at the Community Center.

The raffle prizes are great as are the door prizes and we are the home of the famous “stretch” tickets!  For $10.00 you will get as many tickets as David Wrightson can stretch between his nose and the tip of his finger!

You have questions about finance?  Cars (leasing or buying or renting)?  The different non-profits in town?  The new store that opened?  Restaurants?  The list goes on and on.  They will be at the Business Faire waiting to get to know you!  There will be food treats to show you what some of our wonderful Caterers provide.  The Kiwanis will, of course, be there and ready to sell you a snack if you wish.  EPUD, Pacific Power and the City of Cottage Grove will be there as a single force to talk to you about green energy.

Everyone will have a great time, lots of you will come away with wonderful door prizes or raffle prizes, and you will get to know your town better!  Come join us for a great evening in downtown Cottage Grove!   The Greeters are a committee of the Cottage Grove Chamber of Commerce.  We raise money to provide scholarships to our Jr. 1st Citizens and to promote Cottage Grove by being involved in parades and Ambassador Conventions that market our town to the rest of the state.
