Trick or Treat on Main Street!

The chamber is once again collaborating with the City, Cottage Grove Main Street Program, EBID and the Cottage Grove Sentinel for this year’s Trick or Treat on Main Street! This year’s event will take place on Tuesday, October 31st from 3-5pm. Cottage Grove and Creswell area businesses are encouraged to participate. Main Street will be closed to vehicle traffic starting at 1pm so businesses can participate by setting up a booth right on Main Street during the event. Contact Travis at 541-942-2411 to ask about setting up a booth. There is NO CHARGE to participate! This event provides a safe, family friendly environment for over 1,000 people to enjoy each year. Don’t miss this opportunity to show off your Halloween Spirit and creativity!

Please welcome our newest Chamber Members!
