Wild West Weekend


Dexter Regional Development Corporation is pleased to announce the 2007 date for the 5th Annual Wild West Weekend as being the first weekend of August which falls on August 3rd, 4th and 5th.

DRDC held the first official WWW meeting on Tuesday, May 01st, 7 pm at the Brewster Inn to share ideas and suggestions. There were 23 people from the community as well as DRDC members who attended. There would have been more, but many contacted me who were either sick, on vacation or at other meetings. So I was happy with the attendance.

New Brewster Inn owners Mark & Judith Stephens, also new members of DRDC, are excited to get involved in our community, generously offered to host this public meeting and future wild west meetings.

There were lots of new and creative ideas for 2007 tossed around and DRDC hopes that you will be brainstorming with your staff, club members, etc to create great ideas.

Please let me know what your plans are to make your business, club, church or home "wildly" stand out. Also, please invite your business neighbors to participate. I have created an emailing list, but may not have everyones email address, so let me know if you want to be added to the Wild West email list.

Wild West Weekend has fast become an economic boost for area businesses, helped with fund raising, creating awareness for non-profits, and showcasing our variety of vendors.

We have been receiving calls from vendors, musicians and event planners since the end of last year and Q106.5 FM is booked for their annual live broadcast in 2007. So grab your partna' and join us at our next meeting (TBA) at the Brewster Inn.

If you would like more information, contact us anytime.
