On behalf of the Sky Valley Chamber of Commerce, I would like to thank the many people and organizations that worked together to help make the 20th Sultan Summer Shindig a great success! This year saw a number of changes to the event in terms of format and organization, and under Darnell Koenig’s coordination all seemed to come off wonderfully.
Event directors put in many, many hours of personal time behind the scenes to make sure everything goes smoothly at such an event, and I appreciate the efforts of Debbie Copple, Jon Addington, Lila Renteria, Stacy Scoggins, and Laura Koenig. You all outdid yourselves this year, and it certainly showed in a smooth and great event for all. Many thanks also to the Sultan Police Department for their efforts in keeping the event safe and trouble-free.
Community celebrations are not inexpensive to run, and sponsorship by individuals and companies help cover the costs to make an event fun and successful for all concerned. Coordination and cooperation between the Sky Valley Chamber and the City of Sultan was evident and again, very appreciated. Major sponsors such as Cadman and McDonalds, as well as local sponsors like Kelly Insurance, Romac Industries, and many, many others helped us provide high quality entertainment and a safe and event-filled weekend.
The Sky Valley Chamber of Commerce is committed to encouraging the development of business and greater employment opportunities in and around the Sky Valley region. This certainly does not imply that the Chamber is “anti-environment.” The Chamber has also worked hard whenever possible to stay “out of the fray” when it comes to the politics of small communities. While this is not always possible, it has certainly been a goal of the Chamber, and will continue to be so.
Once again, my thanks to the staff and other volunteers who made Shindig such a success this year. It is a pleasure to work with such a group!
