The Chamber of Commerce has announced the 23rd Annual “Jamboree Project Welcome Mat” in conjunction with the 53rd Annual Smithville Fiddlers’ Jamboree and Crafts Festival. This tradition invites local businesses with changeable signs or marquees to post fun and welcoming messages for the influx of visitors attending this year’s Jamboree to be held July 5th & 6th.
“With thousands of visitors coming into town for our 53rd celebration, this is an opportunity to show our guests that we appreciate them and welcome their business,” said Chamber Director Suzanne Williams.
All businesses are encouraged to participate in “Project Welcome Mat.” To celebrate their creative efforts, recognition awards will be given in four categories: “Best Worded,” “Most Original,” “Most Creative,” and the “People’s Choice Award.” Winners will receive plaques and media recognition for their outstanding contributions.
To enter the contest, businesses should email a picture of their sign to the Chamber at director@dekalbcountychamber.org or by text at 615-464-7760 by Tuesday, June 18th at 12 PM.
“Let’s come together as a community to warmly welcome our Jamboree visitors and showcase the hospitality that DeKalb County and Smithville are known for,” said Williams.
