Chamber Activities

Business BINGO

Each May, at the end of the school year, the Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce offers a chance for local elementary school students to win great prizes and have fun in the process as part of its Business BINGO program.

Business BINGO cards are sent out to elementary school-aged children in Springville and Mapleton during the last week of the school year. On the card is a grid with the names of various local businesses. The students and their families are invited to visit the businesses listed and get a sticker or stamp indicating they have visited the business.

Once the student reaches “blackout,” or has all the boxes filled, he or she should turn in the card at the Service Desk on the main floor of the Springville Civic Center, 110 S. Main. Students will also be able to turn in their cards at the chamber’s Art City Days booth, which will be set up in Civic Center Park June 8-10 during Art City Days.

Students will have until 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 10, to turn in their cards. All those who have submitted their cards by then will be entered into a drawing for prizes, which will be held at the chamber’s Art City Days booth shortly after 4 p.m. on June 10. Past prizes have been donated by business members and have included bicycles, prize baskets, jewelry and gift cards.

There are several ways businesses can get involved, including sponsoring a spot on the BINGO card and/or donating a prize. Businesses that are interested in participating in Business BINGO should contact the chamber at 801-491-7830 or info@springvillemapletonchamber.org.

Chamber Family BBQ

The Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce is looking forward to its eighth annual Networking Family BBQ this summer.

This year’s event will be held on Thursday, Aug. 17, at 6 p.m. and is open to all chamber members and their families. It will be held at the large pavilion at Jolley’s Ranch, with the menu including grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and all the side dishes required to make it a great meal.

This event was created to provide chamber members with an opportunity to get to know each other and their families better and have an opportunity to network in a more relaxed environment than the typical lunch meeting with a guest speaker. Chamber members are invited to attend, relax and admire the beauty of Hobble Creek Canyon while enjoying each other’s company.

There will also be a drawing for prizes donated by local businesses at the event. Last year’s event included axe throwing sponsored by Mountain West Animal Hospital, corn hole tournaments sponsored by Mapleton City and Italian ice sponsored by Zeppe’s.

This year’s sponsor is R&R BBQ of Spanish Fork.

The barbecue is just one more benefit of being a member of the Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce. For more information about becoming a member, visit springvillemapletonchamber.org.
