Fundraisers

Minneota Coupon Book

The Minneota Area Chamber of Commerce gets together coupons from local businesses and puts together a Minneota Coupon Book each year.   This is considered a fundraiser for the Chamber for year around events that are held; but it is also an excellent way for each of the Area Businesses to promote their own business.  The cost of the book is $10.00 each, and the savings in each book is over $100.  Each coupon used by the customer is then signed along with their phone number.  The Chamber holds a monthly drawing of the coupons used, and the lucky name drawn receives $50 in Chamber Bucks.  At the end of the year, there is Grand Prize drawing of all the coupons used throughout the year; and the lucky winner receives $250 in Minneota Bucks.  This is a great promotion for all involved.

Rubber Ducky Race

Golf Ball Roll

The Golf Ball Roll is also a fundraiser for Boxelder Bug Days.  We sell 500 Golf Ball tickets with the number on the ticket corresponding with the number on a Golf Ball.  The Golf Balls are dumped on the ramp at the Farmers Co-op Elevator all at one time, and the shoot narrows as it goes down the ramp.  The first one through the golf ball sized hole is the grand prizewinner.  There are also 5 more consecutive winners after the Grand Prize Ball goes through.  This is held in conjunction with Boxelder Bug Days, and is an exciting event; as the Golf Ball that goes through the hole first, wins $500.
