That's the theme for this year's Custer Chamber Annual Spring Fling. It's a costume party so you can dress up as anything you want...or not...as dressing up is not required! The Custer Chamber staff will all be dressed as Mouseketeers-because Fred said we couldn't be zombies. J (apparently blood, guts, and gore doesn't go well with food!) There are lots of fun ideas out there for group costumes. Others we considered were The Wizard of Oz, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, The Addams Family, and super heroes. If you don't want to dress up with a group, you could wear an old Halloween costume and get another use out of it. Or maybe there's a fun costume idea that goes with your business- like Jake from State Farm! Let your imagination run wild! (if you need other ideas call the Chamber and we'll be happy to help) As a reminder, the Spring Fling is on Thursday, April 4 th . It will take place at Carver's Marketplace at Mount Rushmore with the social hour starting at 5:30pm and the program beginning at 6:30pm. (please take note of these times as the program will begin a little earlier than in past years) If you haven't already RSVP'd, please do so soon. We hope to see you all there to kick off the 2019 season in style! We'll also be announcing this year's Gold Discovery Days Parade Marshal and Royalty. You'll definitely want to be there to celebrate with us! The cost is $20 per person and will include delicious heavy hors d'oeuvres. Call the Chamber if you have any questions or would like to sign up for the dinner. Weekly Inspiration
