Ribbon Cuttings

Ribbon-cuttings are an exciting and fun way to welcome new Chamber members, announce a Grand Opening or celebrate a business milestone.

When you schedule a ribbon-cutting with the Orion Area Chamber of Commerce, you can count on us to help you organize and execute a great event. To promote your ribbon-cutting, we announce it in our e-newsletters and create an event on our Facebook page. Our Board of Directors and Ambassadors will be there to help you celebrate as you cut the green ribbon with our big red scissors.
