The Washington County Chamber of Commerce held their monthly meeting on April 26, 2012 at the Awareness Building in Salem. Board President Hank Jacoby opened by reminding chamber members that Friday Night on the Square is coming up very quickly on May 18 and reminded everyone that vendor space for the event was filling up quickly.
“This is a unique situation,” he said, “because more people have signed up earlier this year than ever.” He went on to explain that usually they receive most of their applications for vendor space during the final two weeks leading up to the event, so seeing the majority of spots go so early was quite a pleasant surprise.
