The July 9th Delta County Area Commerce Center Business After Hours is undergoing a major one-time overhaul to help celebrate the city of Escanaba‘s sesquicentennial 150th birthday.
Renamed the Esky 150 Business and Industry After Hours, the event will feature live entertainment and special door prizes. A major component of this event will be a trade show with a goal of 150 vendors made up of local business, industry and community groups.
The event is scheduled for 5-7 p.m. July 9 at the Ruth Butler Building at the U.P. State Fairgrounds in Escanaba. The get-together will also include the popular Taste of Membership, which will feature Delta County Area Chamber of Commerce member restaurants presenting hors de oeuvres featuring some of their signature dishes. Admission is free and there will be a cash bar.
“This is a very special time for Escanaba and all surrounding communities. The commerce center board and staff are proud to celebrate 150 years of success and growth for our area,” said Vickie Micheau, commerce center executive director.
Business and Industry After Hours will feature several door prizes, including a gas grill from sponsor, MichCon/DTE. Other sponsors are the Chamber of Commerce, Edward Jones, and WLUC TV6/FOX UP.
Kay Johnson is co-chair of the Sesquicentennial Celebration. “This special Business after Hours promises to be lots of fun for everyone who attends, but even much more than that. Our residents work hard and play hard, and this event will help celebrate all of our good work over the decades,” Johnson said.
The 10-day long sesquicentennial celebration will begin July 5. It will feature many events, including musical concerts, tours, maritime festivals, class reunions, running events, picnics and historical displays. For more information, go to www.esky150.org.
