RUTLEDGE – The Grainger County Chamber of Commerce is inviting residents, business owners and community leaders to help shape the future identity of tourism in Grainger County during a series of upcoming in-person deep-dive sessions.
The sessions will be held Wednesday, March 11, at The Exchange in Rutledge. Participants are asked to choose one of two available time slots: 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. with free pastries and coffee, or 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. with a free box lunch.
According to event organizers, the sessions represent the primary opportunity for community members to help guide the county’s direction before final branding designs are created. Input gathered during the discussions will help shape Grainger County’s tourism identity and influence how the county is represented to visitors and potential investors.
Chamber leaders say having the right voices in the room is critical to ensuring the final brand reflects the values, heritage and vision of the community.
Those interested in attending are asked to RSVP by March 4 to Krista Etter at graingerchamber@gmail.com.
Organizers encourage participants to come hungry for change and leave full of ideas as they work together to define the next chapter of Grainger County’s story.
