Membership

Each year, the Corcoran Chamber of Commerce hosts several events which provide sponsorship and networking opportunities for our members. Whether it be sponsoring one of our summer concert events or a sign on our Choo-Choo Train at the Cotton Festival, opportunities are available in several price ranges.

Annual Banquet-Decorate a table. A table of eight with a white table cloth serves as your canvas to create the perfect image of your company! With over 170 people in attendance, everyone enjoys browsing the tables to see how businesses decorated. The tables are judged and the winner receives a FREE Chamber Membership. The table sponsorship is free to our members (tickets for the dinner may be purchased through the Chamber office).

SpringFest and Bike Show-With an attendance over 3,000, this is an event you won't want to miss! Sponsorship opportunities include trophies ($25-$250), band sponsorship ($1,500) and event sponsorship ($2,000). Vendor space is avialable to all Chamber Members free of charge.

Stix and Flicks Outdoor Concert and Movie-This is a great family event started in 2006. The evening includes a local band and is followed by a newly released movie in Christmas Tree Park. Free popcorn is served to all movie-goers. Band sponsorship is $500 and includes a bounce house for the kiddies.

Cotton Festival-In it's 47th year, the Cotton Festival is a Corcoran tradition. In the morning, Whitley Avenue is lined with anxious people awaiting the Parade. The Corcoran Chamber has it's very own Choo-Choo Train and Members can purchase a sign on the train for $50. Activities last throughout the day with games, races, bands and a street dance. Band sponsorships ($1500), award sponsorships ($25-$500) and event sponsorships ($2,500) are also available. Again, vendor space is free to all Chamber Members and a float is always a fun way to show off your business!

Christmas Parade and Celebration-In 1921, Corcoran harvested it's first Christmas tree and brought it back to life with lights and colorful decorations. Today, Corcoran is among one of the few cities in the nation to continuously harvest a live tree to kick-off the holiday season. Sponsorships inlcude Choo-Choo signs ($50), trophies ($25-$250) and stockings for children from Santa ($25-$1,000).

For 2007, the Corcoran Chamber of Commerce and the Corcoran Christmas Tree Committee are working with several organizations, businesses and individuals to replace the downtown Holiday Decorations. For information on donations, please call Lisa Shaw at the Chamber of Commerce 559-992-4514.
