We Work for You

The Chamber Board of Directors Chamber Ambassadors, Staff and Volunteers are the boots on the ground individuals fulfilling this mission.

Be the Change You Wish to See in Manistee!
RSVP by May 1, 2019



Blossom Boulevard has been around for 30+ years, lining US-31 with striking petunias throughout the summer. With the effort of the entire community, Blossom Boulevard is planted, weeded, and maintained by volunteers and school kids! While the project was put on hold for a few years, a group has come together and is springing up in 2019, but we need your help to grow into 2020! In 2019, we will use our efforts to plant from the US 31 Bridge to 3rd Street. With hopes to create a solid group of volunteers and  with enough funds we hope to plant the entire stretch of Blossom Boulevard from the US 31 Bridge to 8th Street!

Part of the services provided by the Manistee Area Chamber of Commerce to our membership is assisting in setting up a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. We design the invitations, create the event on Facebook and tag your business as an organizer and co-host which extends the reach of the event to the audience of both Facebook pages, broadcast the event in the Chamber E-Newsletter as well as a featured event on the Chamber Website. 

In addition we send the event in an e-blast to our entire membership, the Chamber Board of Directors, Ambassadors, and local media. We also bring the big scissors and the ribbon! For more information on requesting a Ribbon Cutting, check out the link to the form below:
