ChamberGram
A Weekly Publication of the Pickens County Chamber of Commerce

Good Morning Chamber Members!

The sun is shining and it’s going to be a great week here in Pickens County, Georgia!

It’s that time again! What is the most popular thing we give out to the public and our Members here at the Chamber? OUR PICKENS COUNTY MAP! And a brand new map publication has begun! You may have been contacted already by Lorraine Cochran with Total Marketing, she has been busy working with us and you to make this our best map publication yet! If you would like to speak with Lorraine to get more information on how you can get your great business in the map her information is listed below.

Don’t miss our first ever Pickin’ & Pullin’ in Pickens! We are so excited about this event. Come listen to the great sounds of the Sharptop Music Barn while enjoying some great food! Tickets are only $8.00! Ticket includes your Pig Pullin’ Plate, a biscuit, 2 sides, and a dessert! and ya’ll this is not your average run of the mill BBQ plate. This is straight from the pig! Frankfurt Doner and Meats from just south of us in Ball Ground will be smoking a whole pig for this event! Come eat-in or take-out but the Sharptop Music Barn doesn’t make house calls so come out and join us this Saturday at Rocco’s Pub! Full details are listed below.

Have a great week everyone!

Our Best to You,

Denise Duncan
President, Pickens County Chamber of Commerce
