| Business After Hours Thank You |
| Date: **** |
| Time: **** |
| Location: Woodland Park Auto Parts, Inc. - NAPA |
| Cost: ***** |
Dear Woodland Park Chamber Members,
We would like to extend a sincere thanks to all of those in attendance at the Business After Hours Tuesday night at Woodland Park Auto Parts, Inc. - NAPA.
After hours of watching the weather radar and praying for a rain-free event (we would have accepted clouds) the skies opened up at the most inopportune time. BUT, everyone adapted and with the help of many, we were able to continue the BAH inside, in a \"COZY\" atmosphere.
We especially would like to thank all those that helped when the rain came, getting the tent disassembled and moving the entire event inside! We couldn’t have done it without you!!
And thank you all for allowing us to feed you and entertain you with the music provided by the Cari Dell band.
Woodland Park Chamber Members are the best at adapting to the situation and you all did wonderful Tuesday night!
THANKS,
Mark and Sharon Stackhouse
Woodland Park Auto Parts, Inc. – NAPA
