A note from Pam Southard, Executive Director, Greater Pooler Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau, Inc.
As you know Pooler Patriot Weekend is just around the corner. And COVID and variant of such is here, rearing its ugly head. So many events are being canceled due to the proximity of folks attending. These cancelations/postponements will only continue. After speaking with health officials, board of directors and staff, as well as other business leaders, I feel that it is so important for the chamber to take a stand, focusing on keeping our residents, business community, and our visitors safe. As of this writing, we have made the hard decision to postpone Pooler Patriot Weekend. With the expectation of having over 8,000 folks attending, not counting our vendors and food trucks, we feel this is the right decision. I personally want to thank everyone who so generously sponsored this event, our food truck and marketplace vendors, our city and first responders, staff and board, who helped with the planning of this event. This was a hard decision but the right and safe thing to do. Please know that the chamber will host this event when it is safe to do so. We look forward to seeing you then.
