Message from the Chairman

Shane Casey, Casey Fuel

Ridgefield is enjoying some great, locally-sponsored happenings this year! We have started new Events and revamped some favorites from years past. This has led to a great 2011 and has paved the way for a solid 2012.

For every street fair, road race, carnival, school or church fundraiser, there is a committee of individuals volunteering their time and energy to making these events run seamlessly. Lots of these committees are comprised of local business owners, eager to give back to the town that supports them. Some are board members. Many are just members looking to further the mission of the Chamber.

There is a reason that Ridgefield is special. Main Street retains its charm, all the business districts remain vibrant, and the people remain dedicated -- all reasons our town and schools are rated amongst the best in the state. Let's continue this by keeping your dollars in town. Shop Local. It has an enormous impact in keeping Ridgefield special.

As Chairman, I am proud to be working with our Board of Directors and look forward to many more triumphant years as a strong supporter of The Chamber of Commerce.
