🚗🎶 Let's keep the fun going after Rod Run!
The Street Cruise takes place after the 51st Annual Queen Wilhelmina Rod Run on Saturday, August 29th, and we're inviting local businesses to join in! Once the Rod Run activities wrap up, we'll be encouraging registrants to cruise through Mena and visit participating local businesses. This is your chance to give visitors and locals another reason to stop by, shop, eat, and enjoy our community!
🎸 Host live music
🛍️ Offer a Rod Run-exclusive shopping promotion or discount
🍔 Create a special menu item
🏠 Host an open house
🎁 Give away prizes or swag
🎉 Plan a family-friendly activity
✨ Or come up with your own creative way to welcome Rod Run visitors!
The goal is simple: keep the energy going and give our visitors a reason to experience more of Mena!
Participating businesses will be included on a Street Cruise map provided to Rod Run registrants. Chamber members can be listed FREE, while non-members can participate for a $50 advertising fee.
📩 Ready to participate? Contact the Mena/Polk County Chamber of Commerce to get signed up!
Let's turn Rod Run into a weekend our visitors and our businesses won't forget! 🏁❤️
