Upcoming events include the inaugural Tiger Plunge, which is slated to take place on February 23, 2019 at 11 a.m. Participants will take an icy plunge into the Mansfield City Lake. If you are interested in participating, you will need to contact President Mike Gipson at 479-883-8465 or Stephanie Morgan at City Hall at 479-928-5552 and pick up a pledge form. Participants will need to raise a minimum of $100 to take the plunge. Those who take the icy challenge will be treated to a free BBQ lunch afterwards.
If you are interested in supporting the chamber, and want to take pledges, but don’t want to brave the water you can opt to “chicken out.”
All who raise the minimum amount, regardless if they take the plunge or are too chicken, will be given a participation t-shirt. Additionally, community members are welcome to come out and support those who are participating and enjoy the BBQ for $5 per plate.
The Mansfield Chamber of Commerce has many other community events planned. They welcome both individuals and businesses to join. The next meeting will be on March 7 at noon, Mansfield City Hall. If you are interested in joining, you are welcome to attend.
