In honor of National Manufacturing Month, the CHQ Chamber is presenting Made in Falconer, an opportunity to tour local manufacturing facilities, learn about the businesses in the community and enter to win prizes.

Made in Falconer will feature tours of Dahlstrom Roll Form, Ellison Bronze, Falconer Printing, Fancher Chair Company, Hanson Sign Company, and Stuart Tool & Die – a diverse mix of manufacturing facilities. Tours will begin every half hour at each location between 10 a.m. and 2 p,m. Oct. 5.

“We’ve been working with the chamber and our local businesses over the past year to continue building on the development efforts Falconer has begun to see,” said Falconer Mayor Jim Jaroszynski. “We’re proud of what’s made in our community, and this event is a great way to showcase those products to our residents and visitors.”

The public is invited to visit each location, take the tour, and find the scavenger hunt word at each site and then text an entry into the Made in Falconer prize drawing. Prizes will include baskets donated by local businesses including 17-19 West Main Mercantile, PersNikkity Pies, ShopLocalCHQ Gift Card, and more. You are also encouraged to visit other local Falconer area businesses for dining and shopping between tours.

“Having visited several local manufacturing plants over the years, it is a fascinating way to see what happens inside facilities many of us drive by every day,” said Dan Heitzenrater, CHQ Chamber president and CEO. “Made in Falconer gives us the opportunity to create an experience that showcases local manufacturers and drives foot traffic to local restaurants and retail, perfectly hitting the Chamber’s mission to build vital connections, provide professional resources, and champion our local businesses.”
