Final Event and bobber drop Sept 3rd!

Now available you can purchase a numbered bobber for $5! Our goal is to sell 1000 bobbers for the 50/50 raffle which the winning numbered bobber picked by Clark may win up to $2500. The proceeds help out marketing our beautiful town! Come to Clarksville…we know you will love it here! Clarksville Chamber 105 Second St.

On September 3rd at 10 am we will award the top three artists voted by the public at the Lake Life Live Park corner of 5th & Virginia Ave. At 10:30, we invite kids to join Clark as he parades downtown towards the dock to get on a boat for the bobber drop. Kids that participate will receive a Clark pin. Above the water a helicopter, operated by Paul Jackson will drop the bobbers into the lake and Clark will net one winning bobber number and the winner will net 1/2 of the proceeds of bobbers sold.

New this year is the Catfish Cook-off at 1 pm at the Town Hall Council quarters where three judges will sample catfish dishes provided by local eateries within 30 miles and vote for the best dish. The winner will take home bragging rights and a trophy.

So come to Clarksville and do the Catfish Crawl.

We are rolling out the free shuttle service in Clarksville! Beginning in January this year the Chamber board has been planning and looking for a golf cart for this new service for our tourists.

We wanted to give them the opportunity to visit our Chamber Merchants along the route when they arrive at the town dock and need a lift to visit our chamber member stores. We found a six-person golf cart in late May and jumped on the purchase the cart.

It debuted at the 4^th of July parade with signage saying Free Shuttle coming soon. So after Lakefest weekend, we started Clark’s Caboose Shuttle service which will run 11-6 pm weather permitting on Fridays and Saturdays! We just ask the riders to please tip their volunteer.

We have been asking for volunteers to help drive the shuttle and are pleased with the turnout of interest. We would love to have more volunteers. They must complete an hour-long orientation and can sign up for a three-hour shift on weekends they are available.

If you are interested in being a shuttle volunteer for a 3-hour shift contact the Chamber for an orientation date! We like to thank our four Business Sponsors as well.
