Official Statement from the Perry Area Chamber of Commerce

The Perry Area Chamber of Commerce regrets to announce that the BBQ, Brews, and Blues Cookout will not take place as planned in 2025. This decision was made due to unforeseen challenges related to fundraising and event management.

We thoroughly enjoyed hosting this event in 2024 and were eagerly looking forward to continuing the event in 2025. However, the current financial and operational climate has made it difficult for our small nonprofit team to manage the event this year.

We remain hopeful that we can bring the BBQ, Brews, and Blues Cookout back in the future, though it will not be possible in 2025. Please accept our sincerest apologies for any disappointment this may cause.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported this event. Your enthusiasm and community spirit meant the world to us, and we look forward to exploring opportunities to host this event again if circumstances allow.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Sincerely,

The Perry Area Chamber of Commerce
