The Chinook Area Chamber of Commerce would like to extend an enormous thank you to everyone involved in the 7th Annual Sugarbeet Festival! It takes so many people to administer all of the different events, that it wouldn t be a success without each and every person involved. In addition to all the sponsors and chamber members, we would like to give a very special thank you to the Oil and Gas Representatives who put in countless hours preparing for the festival.
A huge thank you to Curt Wood for coming to our rescue when the drilling rig we had lined up fell through at the last minute. The rig, even though by drilling standards is small, looked impressive and was a very special addition to the displays. We would like to express a very special thank you to:
