Doctor Bob's staff hosted a Retirement Coffee today for his last day at work.  Doctor Bob turned the clinic over to Doctor Luke Podey.  Best wishes to the two of them as they begin new chapters in their lives.  Please stop by the clinic to welcome Dr. Luke to the business community!  

Join the fun at the Annual Family Fall Fun Walk on Sunday, Sept. 30, 4-6 PM, sponsored by MOMS (Mothers on a Mission).  See flier for details.      

A big thank you to the staff of First National Bank for chairing this year's Chamber brat stand on Homecoming.  The brats were fantastic and the fundraiser was considered a huge success!  Thank you to all who supported the fundraiser again this year.  It's a great way to kick off the homecoming festivities.  

Congratulations Dan & Chantelle Grove on your new DJ business, TONE DEF PRODUCTIONS!  Kirk Huehn presents the Groves with their first year membership to the Manning Chamber of Commerce prior to the Homecoming Alumni Dance at Third & Main.   If you are planning a special event and are in need of a DJ, call Dan!

Go to the Home page to find the registration form for Manning’s 1st Annual “Trail to Nowhere” Bike Ride.  The ride is being planned for Saturday, October 6th from 2-6 p.m.  with a local route around Manning.  All proceeds from the Bike Ride will go towards the future trail system that is being planned for the Manning Community. 

The Trail Committee is very excited about the upcoming ride and hopes to bring in a number of teams locally and from the surrounding area.  This is a four hour continuous bike ride with at least one member of each team required to be on the route at all times.  Because of this, there will be several team members who will not be riding and looking for things to do around Manning. 

Each registered rider will receive a wrist band which will allow them to receive “Biker Specials” for those riders who are not on the route.  The Trail Committee hopes that this will be a fun filled event for everyone involved. Any business or potential rider that has questions or is interested in learning more about the ride can contact any of the following committee members:

Nikki Sorensen                  655-3222
 Dawn Rohe                         655-2176
 Cory Arp                              655-3861
 Mindi Boyle                        655-2630
