News from the Noteworthy from the Otsego County Chamber of Commerce

Sean Lewis: 'Chamber Has a Lot Going On'

As we approach the fourth quarter holiday season, the Otsego County Chamber of Commerce is moving into a very busy period of community activity. As always, the OCCC participates in efforts that support our communities and the nearly 300 member businesses, organizations, and individuals we serve.

October 31 is, of course, Halloween. As a member of Oneonta’s Parade Team, we are helping the Rotary Club of Oneonta with the Annual Halloween Parade. Other team members include Hill City Celebrations, Destination Oneonta, and “The Daily Star.” We are all working together to produce the traditional parades that are part of the fabric of this city. Staging begins at 5 p.m. along Elm Street, with the parade beginning at 6 p.m. Bring your children down to Main Street for trick-or-treat at participating businesses starting at 3 p.m. And, of course, there are donuts and cider at Foothills Performing Arts and Civic Center directly after the parade. Show up, show out, and dress up for the festivities! If you want to participate in the parade itself, register at https://form.jotform.com/242834950782162.
