1st Business After Hours of 2023 at Velodrome

Bob Hendrickson, IOHT

Velodrome Coffee in downtown Ishpeming will be hosted our first BAH of 2023 on Tuesday, January 24 from 5-7pm.

This is going to be one you don’t want to miss.

Our Business After Hours events encourage fellow business owners, community members and leaders to attend. Hosted by a member business, BAHs offer a chance to network not only with the hosting owner but other business owners and community members.

Brice Sturmer, owner of Velodrome Coffee, has some fun stuff lined up. Featuring acoustic guitar music by Jake Lemerand for background vibe. A variety of food samplings from Velodrome’s catering menu, including waffle bites, along with some bakery from 231. Drinks off the Velodrome menu, including other beverages, and some nice door prizes.

If you are a GINCC member and would like to schedule a BAH, give us a call or send an email. A couple others coming up are the Ishpeming Historical Society celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the City of Ishpeming’s Charter and Partridge Creek Farm launching their farmstand: Nourish.

We are a member driven organization that bridges businesses with the community, champions the buy local philosophy, promotes the West End of Marquette County as a whole to visit, live and explore, along with embracing the historical roots that make this area great.

In addition to BAHs the GINCC hosts ribbon cuttings, open houses and additional special events to provide media exposure and recognition for chamber members. Typically ribbon cuttings are associated with an opening of a new business but have evolved into a special event to celebrate milestones, new avenues of venture and business owner changes. These are free of cost to chamber members and offers an excellent opportunity to obtain public recognition.

Here at the GINCC we’re also looking forward to the opportunities ahead. Renewing partnerships with member businesses, welcoming new members and sharing stories of success while working on solutions to local challenges.

The GINCC also works with many organizations on the West End to assist with event promotion and publicity. The Ishpeming Ski Club, Noquemanon Ski Marathon and Heikki Lunta Winter Festival are just a few. If you are a member of an organization, contact the GINCC to find out what a membership can do for you.

To learn more about the GINCC, visit our website at www.gincc.org, give us a call or stop in. Office hours are 9am-5pm, Monday through Friday. We are at times out of office on Chamber business. Please call ahead to confirm a visit, 906-486-1111.

Editors Note: Bob Hendrickson is the executive director of the GINCC. He currently resides in Negaunee with his wife, Laura, and daughter, Sierra. He enjoys mountain biking, skiing, fishing and hunting along with family time.
