Over 1,100 shoppers attend Greater Ogdensburg Chamber of Commerce Thanksgiving Craft Show

To the Editor:

The Greater Ogdensburg Chamber of Commerce would like to thank everyone who attended the Thanksgiving Craft Show on Saturday, November 19 at Kennedy School. We had over 90 vendors and over 1,100 shoppers attended our craft show!

We could not have had such a successful show without the dedication and hard work from Cheryl and Gary Seymour. Cheryl was our Thanksgiving Craft Show Chair for many years and worked hard to build the show up to its current level of success. Assisting Cheryl and Gary in mapping out the booth set-up was Pat & Carol Cunningham and their daughters, Emily and Michele Morrison.

Many thanks to the maintenance crew at Kennedy School – Randy Tyo, Lucas Hamilton, Steven Poore and Greg White.

A special thanks to Tom Luckie and the Ogdensburg Boys & Girls Club members: Cody George, Brei Shaver. Olivia Merrill, Nick Carter, Eddy Baker and Alexis Baker who helped the vendor unload their wares early on Saturday morning.

We had some additional help from OFA Key Club members: Noelle Dutch, Navaeh Lockwood and Olivia Berghaus and the OFA Senior Service members: Chelsea Flinn, Brian Moore and Michela Nugent. We could not have done it without you guys – thanks so much! Thanks to Kristy Wilson from AT&T who provided free wi-fi to our vendors.

We would also like to thank the Chamber Board of Directors and their family who always go above and beyond to help before, during and after our events – Cheryl Seymour, Thanksgiving Craft Show Chair, Alex Augsbury, Michael Brashaw, Michele Catlin, Craig Chevalier, Kim Demers, Melanie and Connor Flack, Ken Gardner, Amy Hartford, Steve Hawes, Wayne Izzo, Lee Jones, Melissa Lalonde, Sean McNamara, Dawn and Paige Merz, R. O’Donnell, Betsy Porter, Sarah Purdy, John Rishe, Rhonda Roethel, Judy Ryan, Julia Stevenson, Michael Thayer, Derek VanHouse and John Wade.

Last but not least, a special warm and grateful thank you to the chamber’s admin assistant, Kim Snyder and office clerk, Kaitlyn Tiernan.
