What an exciting first two years for our Community & Visitors Guide! Year one, we handed out more than 12,000 guides within the first six weeks and had to order more. This year, we ordered 15,000 and they have been a hot commodity. The Chamber continues to represent businesses and the community in the best way possible. We hope this guide is a wonderful opportunity for individuals to learn more about our amazing community members and our hardworking and dedicated businesses.
We are now selling advertising for the 2025/2026 Community & Visitors Guide. The guide will be bigger and better. We will print 20,000 guides, which will also continue to have the center map with more extensive location information: parks, bathrooms, playgrounds, parking, EV chargers, schools, beaches… Our members within the downtown and uptown areas are identified with shading within the listings.
We are proud to be able to provide a free resource for our community and visitors alike. If you did not advertise last year, we ask that you please consider advertising this year. If you did, thank you so very much for your support and faith in us.
The intention of the Harbor Springs Area Chamber of Commerce Community & Visitors Guide is to represent all our members and provide a fabulous resource to identify services in the area: electrician, real estate agent, cleaning service, car repair, insurance company, and the list goes on and on. When I first moved to Harbor Springs, I had no idea who to call for the many necessary services. Having all of you as members and having you listed in one place is invaluable.
Here’s to a successful remainder of 2024. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about our guide or anything else about the chamber. We are always here for you.
We thank you for your continued support of the chamber and our community.
All the best,
Bonnie P. Kulp
Executive Director
