Executive Director's Notes

By Fran?oise Rhodes

A big round of applause for Chamber Volunteers Judy Lewis, George Thompson, Joy McBride, Jenny Huntley, Rachel Rench and Marie Perroud as the Chamber broke past “superbloom” records of helping just shy of 1,000 people in March, at the Chamber alone! This does not include the many emails, texts and DM’s I have answered or the social media questions sent my way, as well as the several hundred of visitors Marie Perroud has helped during March at the Chamber Information Booth at the Chamber Certified Farmer’s Market. I’m bursting with pride for my team!

And guess what? It’s April and visitors are still coming to town in search of flowers, sculptures and the small town feel. Lucky for them Borrego Springs offers it all, and soon the warm temperatures we all are used to in April. By Friday we’ll be in the 80’s and on Sunday the low 90’s, does this mean the flight of the snowbirds;-)

Easter week is here and the question has been “will the Farmer’s Market be open on Friday,” yes it will.

Signups and information about our May 4, Cuartro de Mayo Mixer at Rams Hill Golf Club will be available next week.

Have a wonderful Easter and spring break week!

Did You Know?

Americans eat about 1.5 million Peeps during Easter.

That makes these colorful marshmallows the most popular non-chocolate Easter candy. The Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, factory makes an impressive 5.5 million a day.

In 1953, it took 27 hours to make one Peep. That's back when they were still new to the world and were handmade with a pastry tube. But don't worry; it now takes just six minutes, thanks to a unique machine called The Depositor that creates the unique and instantly recognizable shape.
