One of the benefits of Chamber membership is a free listing in the 2008 Currituck Chamber of Commerce Guide. The Chamber Guide is featured on the Currituck Chamber website - www.currituckchamber.org - where interested visitors may learn about your business, as well as the Three Dog Ink website - outerbanksguides.com. As an added bonus, the guide is distributed to all residents and businesses in Currituck County, as well as all Chamber members. Additionally, we distribute regionally through visitor centers and welcome centers. You’ll find the guide at area hotels and motels, Currituck County government facilities, banks and financial institutions, as well as in the Chamber office.

2008 Business and Community Expo: "A Pirate's Life" A Great Success

On Saturday, March 1, 2008, over 300 people set sail at Currituck County High School for the 7th Annual Currituck Business and Community Expo! The participating exhibitors did an excellent job decorating their booths and tables within the pirate theme. Sponsors this year were The Bank of Currituck, Embarq, and East Carolina Radio.

The Business and Community Expo kicked off in style with a preview night on Friday, February 29th. Winners of the Pirate Costume Contest were: 1st Place - Tameron Kugler, Coastal Carolina Water; 2nd Place - Courtney Gallop, Gallop Funeral Services; and 3rd Place - Theresa Dozier, East Carolina Bank. Sponsors for the Walk the Plank sneak preview were BJ's Carolina Cafe, Coca-Cola, Java Deli, Southland and Weeping Radish

The Chamber would also like to thank the Rub a Dub Grub sponsors this year for providing food and drink for the exhibitors on Expo day: The Bean Drop Cafe and Coffee Roasting Co., BJ's Carolina Cafe, Currituck BBQ, and Coastal Carolina Water. Providing the fabulous insulated bags for the exhibitor lunches was Identify Yourself. Thanks to all!

The winner of the Tahitian Treasure Black Pearl Necklace Raffle was Sheriff Susan Johnson! Susan took home the beautiful 9mm black pearl necklace, hanging from an 18k white gold chain. Our thanks to American Way Mortgage for sponsoring the Tahitian Treasure raffle.

Thank you to everyone who attended this year's event, and especially to those who gave blood to the American Red Cross. We were able to collect 20 units of blood, which will help to save 60 lives! The Chamber would like to recognize staff members Shannon Kinser and Mary Krawiec, and Board members Eddie Lynch, Mike Painter, Wanda Beasley, and Peter Bishop for taking the time to give the gift of life.

Planning for next year's Business and Community Expo has already begun! The 8th Annual Expo will be held on Saturday, March 7th, and will pay tribute to Hollywood. Exhibitors, you have plenty of time to plan your booths accordingly!
