Mark your Calendar By Mitchell Pellecchia, Staff Writer Thursday, February 4, 2010 Long-time Margate Chamber of Commerce board member John Francis of famed Mr. G’s Restaurant has been elected the Chamber's new President. Formed in 2003, the Margate Chamber of Commerce is poised to be a driving force behind Margate small business moving forward.   _______________ Francis was the Chamber’s point man for last year’s inaugural Margate Street Festival, which brought an excess of 5,000 people to Margate and was an overwhelming success for participating businesses. This year’s second annual Street Festival event, scheduled for Sunday, February 21st, is anticipated to draw 7,000 Palm Beach, Miami Dade and Broward residents for a day of non-stop entertainment, food vendors, crafts, kids games, motorcycles and hot rod cars. In a special presentation entitled “Salute to Our Troops” local men and women from the U.S. military will be honored. The Margate Street Festival is an outstanding opportunity for small businesses to gain exposure and market their goods and services. Vendors at last year’s Street Festival were so busy, supply hardly kept up with demand. To inquire about booth space and festival advertising and promotional opportunities at this year's event, call Jaime Milner at 954-582-0399. __________________________________________ Get MargateNews.net on your desktop, laptop or mobile Internet with customizable RSS (Real Simple Syndication) Feeds.
