Business Crawl Bingo
Get ready to Spring into May with the West Union Main Street Chamber Board as we invite you to join us on a thrilling Business Crawl Bingo event. Are you missing the days of socializing with friends, the sound of laughter, and the excitement of exploring new places? We've got you covered! Let's bring back all the fun, smiles and excitement by working together.
Join us on Saturday May 6th to Saturday May 13th, as we take you on a fun-filled adventure to explore various local businesses in West Union. The kick-off event will be at the "Rakes & Rolls" breakfast, starting at 8 AM at Bethel Presbyterian Church. After breakfast, lend a helping hand at the downtown garden cleanup, and kick-start the Business Crawl Bingo.
Here's the exciting part: You can hand out a Bingo Card to your customers and let them know that it will be going on for a solid week, giving everyone ample time to visit the businesses, have fun and prepare for Mother's Day weekend. The best part is that there's NO COST to participate! We want you to enjoy and make the most of this fantastic opportunity to get out, call your friends, and visit our local businesses.
All we ask is that you put some type of spring art on or in your window to show that you are a participant of the Business Crawl. For those curious about the prize for completing the Bingo Card, tell them that all participants are winners for getting out and enjoying our town.
So what are you waiting for? Mark your calendar, bring your family and friends, and let's celebrate the arrival of Spring together with the Business Crawl Bingo event. See you there!

“As a child, I was involved with 4-H, FFA, and church youth group. I enjoy being busy, planning, and learning new things. It was a great opportunity to volunteer alongside a prestige group of individuals. We all have different backgrounds (healthcare, education, finance, and small business owners), so it's phenomenal to hear the input and be a part of the collaboration towards the common goal of bettering our community"

Volunteer Spotlight
Trey Kuhens
Trey is in his second year as the Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of West Union. He also shares his passion for sports by serving as both the Middle School Football and High School Baseball Coach for North Fayette Valley Schools. In his free time, Trey loves to lift weights and play video games like most guys in their early 20s.
“I enjoy volunteering because many different groups and organizations do great work for our town. Giving a little time each month to lend a hand can go a long way. It feels better to help out a friend, neighbor, or organization than to sit on the couch and do nothing.”
- Trey
