It is here… the 2013 Community Guide. It is hard to believe that three years have gone by since the introduction of the new partnership with the Culpeper Star Exponent to facilitate the production of the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce Community Guide.

As you know the first 2011 issue was introduced at CulpeperFest. Since the unveiling, the Culpeper Star Exponent has won awards in the magazines/slick publications category for the 2011 and 2012 Culpeper Chamber of Commerce Community Guide. These are impressive accolades that we are very proud of. When you see the 2013 guide you will know that we took the best of the last two years and made 2013 the best yet.

The guide is a quality of life publication. We use the guide to tell the story of Culpeper from Education to Life & Leisure, we are proud of our community. The publication makes its way to hospital visitors, realtors packets for relocations, and local hospitality venues to name a few.

Most importantly, the guide is a directory of Chamber of Commerce businesses. We are all very interested in supporting local businesses that support the local community. By supporting Culpeper Chamber of Commerce businesses, you are supporting our local economy. Our members are actively engaged in supporting the mission of the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce - To be the voice of the business community working to promote, build, and support the most effective climate for economic development.

I am proud of the work of the Chamber in our community. We have come together to support each other and the community bridging the economic challenges with a remarkable spirit of optimism. The Community Guide is a good example of this effort. We chose to use local resources to facilitate the guide with a special knowledge of our local community. Thus, we are able to tell the stories of our community spirit with depth and rich color.

Stop by the Culpeper Star Exponent Booth at CulpeperFest for your hot off the press 2013 Culpeper Chamber of Commerce Community Guide. Hand a copy to friends and family visiting the community. Put a few in your lobby to tell the story of Culpeper with amazing pictures and descriptions. Support the advertisers that support the publication that is so meaningful to our success. Make it a point to support the member businesses of the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce.

CulpeperFest will take place at Germanna’s Daniel Technology Center this Thursday from 4 PM - 8:30 PM. We will begin serving food at 4 pm this year rather than waiting until 5 pm as in years past. So come early and enjoy the food and fellowship. Our spaces under the BIG tents sold out early this year, a great indication of another super event. Tickets are on sale at the Depot, CFC Farm & Home Center, and at Shawn’s Barbeque (guess what is included in the ticket purchase!!!). Advance ticket purchase is required.
