Scramble

Sunday, November 7th, 2010

If someone were to tell you they went to a “Scramble,” what would you think it was?  A new breakfast cafe?  A rummage sale where you had to madly reach for something before someone else did?  A corn maze where you had to frantically find your way through people and corn stalks?

The Scramble we attended on Friday, Nov. 5th, is a networking luncheon event that the McHenry County Chamber of Commerce holds twice a year.  You find yourself meeting and networking with people at every turn and you scramble from one table to another throughout this progressive lunch.  While at each table, you have only but a few minutes to tell everyone you’re seated with who you are and what benefits your company offers to them.  It’s a fantastic way to meet people and find out more about the businesses within your own community.   Read More→

Cody’s Farm

Monday, October 18th, 2010

Cody’s Farm was one of nine farms that participated in this past weekend’s Marengo Autumn Drive. This event is held every year and offers families a variety of things to do, see and enjoy to celebrate harvest time.

Cody’s had lots of things for everyone to enjoy. The children enjoyed the hay rides, pumpkin launcher, petting zoo and corn maze. The adults savored home-made apple cider donuts and pies, made purchases of the beautiful assortment of fruits and veggies on display and strolled through the many vendor booths — each one displaying something different than the other and most of the merchandise being sold was hand-crafted.

McHenry Chamber Scrambler

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

A Scrambler almost sounds like an omlet you’d have for breakfast, right?  Well, many networking groups are using this term to describe networking meetings with all types of industries.  What they do is invite a complimentary blend of businesses together for breakfast or lunch, and give them the opportunity of exchanging business cards and making new contacts with each other.

When food is involved, you’ll generally have a 3 course meal — you sit at a different assigned table for each course and are then given a 3 minute opportunity to introduce yourself to your table and describe your services.  Read More→
