2020 Frankfort Community Showcase CANCELLED
Event Sponsors
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we have made the decision to cancel our Frankfort Community Showcase, scheduled for Saturday, March 21 at Lincoln-Way East High School. Our partnering program, Lincoln-Way ArtWorks, has also cancelled. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to bringing our Showcase back to you in March, 2021!
As a precautionary measure for the well-being of all of our Chamber members and community, the Frankfort Chamber of Commerce will refrain from hosting or coordinating any group events for the next 30 days. As new updates from the Illinois Department of Public Health become available, we will reassess our position, and hope to resume our normal activities in the very near future.
Our Chamber staff and Board wish you and yours continued health and safety. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.
