The Okotoks & District Chamber of Commerce is getting ready to welcome members back from summer holidays with their golf tournament in mid September.

It's a laid back event for the Chamber in hopes of getting local businesses to enjoy an afternoon of golf and networking.

CEO Cheryl Actemichuk says in past years the tournament was held in June but with past summer weather usually raining on their parade they decided to change months.

"This year the committee decided to change it altogether and do it in September," she says. "So this is the first time we've had it in the fall, after everybody gets back from holidays and we thought it would be a nice way to get back in the swing of things, no pun intended."

She says the tournament is a great way to help promote your business and meet members of the chamber community.

 "There's a bunch of sponsorship opportunities still available, great prizes, you get a steak dinner afterwards and it's just a great way to network with chamber businesses.

The tournament goes September 14 at Crystal Ridge Golf Club starting with two golf clinics provided at 12:30 p.m. and 1 p.m. with a shotgun start at 2.

Tickets are $100 for golf and a steak dinner and if you'd like to just join for the dinner portion it's only $40.
