If you serve the USD student community please join us for the Coyote Bash Thursday, Sept. 1 from 6 to 8 p.m. in downtown Vermillion at Ratingen Platz. The Coyote Bash is a partnership between the Vermillion Area Chamber of Commerce and the University of South Dakota which welcomes back USD students and introduces incoming freshmen to the product and service offerings of the community. This year, it is being held in conjunction with Thursdays on the Platz. Making the students aware of all we have to offer improves retention, maintains a strong customer base and keeps retail spending local. Don’t miss this great opportunity to build loyalty and a relationship with your customers from day one by setting up a table to introduce and promote your business to the new students. For more information or if interested in setting up a table, please contact Ann at the Vermillion Area Chamber & Development Co. at 624-5571 or annb@vermillionchamber.com. Space is limited.
