No Meet in the Street again this year – we do hope it will be revived in 2022 – but the chamber has found a way to provide pleasure or interest on May 1 with a trio of events at Flaherty Park at 1226 North White Street. All three will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
One is the Young Entrepreneurs Fair, the second is a pickleball tournament and the third is an outdoor business expo. Go to the chamber’s website for full details of all three, including how to participate.

The Wake Forest Area Chamber of Commerce will host a new monthly event this spring, April through September, in the courtyard in front of the chamber office. Right now they are looking for hosts for After Hours, Outdoor Networking @ the Chamber. Hosts will pay $250 and provide light refreshments for about 50 people – maybe more as restrictions loosen – and be mentioned in all ads and releases about the event as well as being able to speak for five minutes during the event.
The first After Hours event will be at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, April 15, presented by Cardinal Points Imaging of the Carolinas. See you all there!

Don Stroud with Hartsfield & Nash Insurance Agency is now officially on the Hall of Fame monument in front of the chamber office. He was formally recognized during one of last week’s Member Appreciation Events. He was named a chamber Hall of Fame recipient last year, but because of Covid-19 he was unable to be formally recognized until now.
