EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MESSAGE Once again, the month and life in
Broken Bow is flying by! All of us with the Chamber and Broken Bow have
an opportunity to take part in a GRAND event with Saturday, October 8th,
when we celebrate the Bandstand. You hear all the time of people driving
through our town, how lovely it looks and how lucky we are to have the
bandstand. Many people have put in time and money to have a day we can
celebrate the Bandstand. I encourage you to look at the events and take part!
Just to let you know, the directory committee is looking to the 2017 directory
and making plans to make it better than ever! Also, even though February is
a few months off, the Events committee is working with the Home & Leisure
Show along with the tasting! This Chamber keeps on the move and it is so
great promoting all your businesses. Enjoy your fall and see you all on the
8th in the Square!
Tree planting in the Square The city crew along with volunteers from the
Beatification committee planted 9 new trees in the Square. To say the down-
town has had some changes this past summer would be an understatement.
I remember 2 years ago being in a meeting when the group was putting out
“goals and dreams” for Broken Bow. A lot of them came to fruition this summer!
Thank you to the City of Broken
Bow for moving forward with
this new look of our town
Square. Besides the trees addi-
tional shrubs and ornamental
grasses were added to the
corners. The Square looks
GREAT!

GROW award presented to Ideal Realty, LLC. Broken Bow continues to grow because business people
continue to do their job. In this case, Broker Agent, Mo Hunsberger recently sold a few properties that had been vacant
for some time in Broken Bow. Now renovation and expansion are taking place! Congratulations to Ideal Realty, LLC
and thanks for keeping Broken Bow growing! Thank you also to Mo and her
staff for a great Open House.
Chamber YOU-niversity provided by Sonya Atkins, MS from Backbone of Healthcare and The Grocery Kart.
A walk through the grocery store aisle gave attendees a good picture on how they can start making better choices on
what they put in their shopping carts. The
main advise that Sonya Atkins, Applied
Clinical Nutrition, could give was read the
labels. If it is not a whole food, or you
cannot pronounce the word, you might
want to find out what it could be. Some of
the information was unbelievable, you
really needed to be there to understand the
importance of making smarter choices. If
you are interested in getting a nutritional
program created, you just need to call for
a consultation to 308-872-2171. Thank
you to Sonya for taking the time and to the
Grocery Kart for allowing the group to
walk through the aisle.
Thank you— I would like to thank the Chamber for the Grow Award I recently received. What a surprise and honor! Broken Bow is growing everyday and I'm proud to be associated with all the different businesses and community mem-bers that are making this happen! Thanks Again! Maureen Hunsberger IDEAL Realty, LLC

Halloween Trick or Treat Monday, October 31st downtown
Businesses are getting ready for the annual downtown Trick or Treat! If you plan to be a part of the Trick or Treat,
please call the office 308-872-5691 so we can get your name on the poster. New this year the Bow FBLA and FFA
Clubs will be collecting items for the Custer County Food Pantry. The clubs will be in the Square during the Trick
or Treat. So bring your items to donate then go Trick or Treat. Also from 4:00—5:00 Girl Scout Troop 846 will
be holding a pumpkin painting contest!
Croquet Tournament— How many of you have played Croquet?
Maybe you played on Sunday afternoon with your Grandparents! If you
did and would like to play again, plan to be in the tournament. Croquet is
a game that all ages can play. In planning the 100th Bandstand celebra-
tion, the committee tried to come up with some “traditional” things to do.
I challenge you to get your family to play a game from Grandparents to
Grandchildren. The bandstand day is all about celebrating the square and
what it means to Broken Bow and Custer County. We are very fortunate
that local businesses and organizations are willing to donate gift cards and
Chamber Bucks for the winner! The winner will receive $100 worth of
shopping around Broken Bow. Games will begin at 9:15, winner of each
game will play in the Championship game at 4:15. If you know you want
to play a game be sure and call the Chamber to register 308-872-5691!
Make a memory with your family and get in the game!
Thanks to following businesses for contributing $10 gift cards:
