M-A-E & MAQUOKETA CHAMBER OPEN HOUSE

THE MAQUOKETA ART EXPERIENCE AND MAQUOKETA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ARE NOW LOCATED IN THE SAME BUILDING, THE LARGE BUILDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MAIN STREET "CENTER-BLOCK"  THAT FOR MANY YEARS WAS THE HOME OF OSTERHAUS PHARMACY.   M-A-E  HAS BEEN IN A PORTION OF THE BUILDING FOR SEVERAL YEARS.    REMODELING
STARTED IN JANUARY FOR THE PORTION TO BE USED BY THE CHAMBER.
THE CHAMBER WAS LOCATED ACROSS THE STREET AND SOLD THAT BUILDING TO A BUSINESS THAT WAS ON WEST PLATT AND WANTED TO BE
ON MAIN STREET.     THAT, IN A SHORT STORY, BRINGS ME TO SHOWING YOU
SOME PHOTOS I TOOK TONIGHT, WHEN THE RIBBON-CUTTING CEREMONY
WAS HELD AND TOURS WERE TAKEN BY MEMBERS OF BOTH ORGANIZATIONS AND BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

ALL THE VISITORS LIKED WHAT THEY SAW!    YOU WILL AGREE ....AFTER
YOU VISIT THE NEW M-A-E AND CHAMBER BUILDING.    STOP IN AND BROWSE ANYTIME....OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK.     A DEFINITE PLUS FOR MAQUOKETA.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL WHO HAVE WORKED HARD TO MAKE IT A REALITY.
