Be the BEST Ambassador: We all gain from the success of each business and each event. So be a great Ambassador of the Chamber and the Upper Rogue. Tens of thousands of visitors will be streaming down Hwy 62 this summer, and when they stop at your place, make sure to recommend another great Upper Rogue business. If someone asks for directions, make sure to ask “Have you been to the Butte Creek Mill?” “Do you like wine?” Make sure to stop by Agate Ridge, or Crater Lake Cellars is right on 62″ “You’ve never had brunch till you had brunch at the Rogue River Lodge” Best prime rib? …can’t beat the Prospect Historic Hotel and Dinner House” “The Rogue River you say… Stop by the Fishing Hole they ARE the Rogue River!” You get the idea. As business owners and individuals we do have some control over our local economy. This summer let’s use that control. One more stop! If we could get every visitor who stops at a shop to stop at ONE more shop that they wouldn’t have, what would that do to our economy? So ambassadors, let’s make that our goal, ONE more stop.
