Industry Appreciation Day
Golf Tournament and Boat Ride
September 3, 2009


Registration is now underway for the 16th Annual Industry Appreciation Day, including a golf tournament and barbecue dinner, to be held at Goose Pond Colony on Thursday, September 3rd at 12:00 noon.

Co-sponsored by the Jackson County Economic Development Authority and the Greater Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, the activities offer an opportunity for representatives of industry and businesses throughout the county to join with elected officials and community leaders for an afternoon of fun, fellowship and good-natured competition. The golf tournament will be a best ball scramble format between four-man teams.

Industry teams will be competing against consistently strong contenders from Beaulieu, Maples, Smurfit Stone, Polyamide and others. To be included in the Manufacturing Division, all four team players must be employed by the industry they are representing. An open division winner will be named as well. Team prizes will be awarded in each division as well as overall individual prizes including closest to the pin, longest drive and longest put.

A lake cruise for non-golfers will depart the gas dock at 1:30 p.m. and return at 4:00. The barbecue dinner will be served immediately after the tournament between 5:00 and 5:30 p.m. Spaces are still available for all functions. For further details and reservations, please call 574-1331 or 259-5500 before 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 1st.
