Hopkins County Chamber Connection

By Butch Burney

It seems spring may finally be here, so it’s time for the 34th Annual Chamber Golf Tournament, set for April 7 at the Sulphur Springs Country Club.

Like last year, the registration fee for a six-person scramble team is $750, with tee times at 8:00 am and 1:30 pm. We have room for 25-afternoon golfers and 18-morning teams on a first-come basis. Registration includes 12 Mulligans, six meal tickets, and three carts.

We also have many sponsorship opportunities, so check out our registration form online at hopkinschamber.org or drop by the office at 110 Main St.

Eclipse 2024

Don’t be caught in the dark when April 8, 2024, the eclipse happens! Everyone is invited to a press conference on the Courthouse steps at 2:00 pm Monday, March 6, as we discuss what is needed to prepare for the eclipse.

Sulphur Springs is ranked as the eighty-best place in North America to watch the afternoon event. Let’s get ready!

Our next Business After Hours will be from 4:30–5:30 pm on Thursday, March 16, at the House of Sabo, 214 Main St.
