The Perry County Chamber of Commerce will begin the annual Retail Christmas Promotion on December 5th.
We invite you to join us for our “2011 CHRISTMAS CASH” retail promotion. Participating businesses will decorate a box to place in their store where shoppers can register with an entry blank for each $5 purchase in the store to win Christmas Cash. The cash will be in the form of Chamber gift certificates (to further encourage local shopping) worth over a thousand dollars to be given away as prizes from Thanksgiving through Christmas.
Participating businesses will be asked to draw a name from your box each Friday in December. We will call you for the name and pick grand prize winners each week from those given to us by participating stores. Each store will have a winner every week for a total of three winners from each store. The weekly winners will win $30 with a grand prize given the last week. The amounts may vary, depending on how many businesses participate. The Chamber will furnish you with registration forms and posters for your door/window and for your registration box soon after receiving your sign-up sheet.
The cost to participate is $100 for Chamber members and $150 for non-members.

Entrepreneurship Focus Groups to meet
Perry County is participating in the Indiana HomeTown Competitiveness program based on a successful application submitted by the Perry County Chamber of Commerce. The Indiana HomeTown Competitiveness program is operated out of the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs and helps rural communities successfully compete in the global economy.
Indiana HTC concentrates on five areas called pillars: Youth, Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Charitable Wealth and Rural Families Economic Success. Ferdinand has participated in the program since 2008, and we can all relate to the successes they have experienced with their economic boom just off the interstate.
We are now in phase one of the project. During this phase, each pillar is performing an assessment on how Perry County currently stands in each area listed above.
The Entrepreneurship Pillar is conducting focus groups for entrepreneurs in four areas of the county. We invite you to participate in one of the sessions listed. All sessions will take place from 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm.
- Cannelton - Monday, November 28 - Cannelton City Council Chambers (below library)
- Troy - Tuesday, November 29 - St. Pius annex activities room
(Thank you Bob and Janice Harpenau for reserving this space!)
- Leopold - Thursday, December 1 - Perry Central School library (front door and right)
- Tell City - Wednesday, December 7 - Schergens Center
Data gathered from the focus groups and surveys will help us develop an action plan to help Perry County succeed.
If you would like to volunteer to help with any of the areas mentioned, please call the Chamber of Commerce at 547-2385. We will be glad to have you on board.
