Oktoberfest Vendor Applications Now Open
|
It is time to think about Oktoberfest! Vendor applications are ready. In an effort to represent all Chamber members, we will rotate through members who want to participate and whose established Leavenworth brick-and-mortar business aligns with the fall, Oktoberfest, or Bavarian theme. If you have not yet joined the Leavenworth Chamber, you may still apply, but be aware that if chosen, you will be required to join.
Applications are due by MARCH 15th. You must apply again even if you participated last year. Decisions will be made by April 15th.

Litter & Drift Waste Cleanup: WRI Workday!
|
That December storm gave us its best shot, and now it’s up to us to clean up the mess! One good outcome to the lack of snow, WRI is able to continue this work. Change your Friday the 13th karma to "gold" by helping us clear out the litter and drift-waste that the river moved through our beautiful trails. Come hang out, get your hands a little dirty, and help us restore the campus!
Time: 9am-11am
WRI will provide the gloves & trash grabbers (please bring ear protection if you have it); you provide the muscle (and the banter).
Before you head over: To make check-in a breeze, please RSVP and fill out our volunteer waiver.
