March 25th, 2011Register for this year’s Trivia Night – February 25, 2011
February 7th, 2011And the winner is . . . ?
January 19th, 2011For the first time ever, Union Pacific (UP) allowed the public to route where their steam giants will travel in 2011. On January 18, the votes were in, tabulated, and the winner announced . . . The Little Rock Express!
Starting in Kansas City, MO, the The Little Rock Express route will travel through more than 60 Missouri communities with stops in Booneville, Jefferson City, Chamois, St. Louis, Cape Girardeau, Dexter and Poplar Bluff. UP will announce the excursion date and other details in the coming weeks. Follow UP on Facebook and Twitter for the latest information.
Thank you to all those who voted and secured this excursion for Missouri.
You may be asking, “What difference does this make to Brunswick?” Brunswick is included in the “Old Trails Region” and has the potential to benefit from the exposure Old Trails will receive when the Union Pacific steam giants travel The Little Rock Express route. This is a wonderful opportunity for the Old Trails Region and plans are being made for events to capitalize on this opportunity for the Old Trails Region.

Promote Shopping Local with Brunswick Bucks
October 18th, 2010Supporting local businesses and fostering economic development are priorities for the Brunswick Area Chamber of Commerce. We are pleased to introduce Brunswick Bucks to encourage residents to spend their money locally to strengthen the local economy. Supporting local businesses adds to the tax base helping our school, streets, city services, ambulance, etc.
Can Brunswick Bucks have an impact? Area communities with similar programs have enjoyed tremendous success. The seven communities we spoke with confirmed that their programs made “significant impacts” in their local economies and were very well received. It is a “Win! Win!” situation for all: consumer, businesses, and area residents. Each of us can make a difference.
Participating “Brunswick Bucks” Businesses: AgriServices of Brunswick, Allen’s Dime Store, Ashlyn House B&B, Bowyer’s Florist, Brunswick Auto Parts, Brunswick Distributing, The Brunswicker Newspaper, Buds & Blossoms, Creative Memories, Finishing Touch, Gordon Building Center, Gourmet Cheesecakes by Kaitlynn, Harmon’s Service, Leanna’s, Plantation Antiques & Interiors, Prenger Foods, Sam Johnson’s Furniture & Appliance, Sew Sweet Quilt Shop, Sherry’s Home Cookin’, Sycamore Valley Farm B&B, and The Railyard Steakhouse.
