Summer 2024 was both eventful and exciting! A major focus for CTC this season was expanding our Taste of Technology events. Building on the success of three events in 2023, we increased the number to four this year!
We held these events in Nokay Lake, Nisswa, Sullivan Lake, and Randall, with a more casual, “open house” format. This allowed members and potential members to visit different stations, learn about our services, and ask questions at their own pace.
At each event, attendees had the opportunity to sign up for services, exchange their routers for newer models, upgrade their services, and share testimonials about why they love CTC. Many took home yard signs, earning a $25 bill credit, and everyone enjoyed the swag, prizes, and grand prize meat packages.
The events attracted an incredible 625 attendees in total, with Nokay Lake hosting 210, Nisswa 125, Sullivan Lake 130, and Randall 160. We were fortunate to have great food catered by local favorites, The Green Lantern Bar & Grill, A-Pine Family Restaurant, The Royal, and Boone’s Market.
We also collaborated with various vendors, including Be-Bold Balloons, Party Time, Von Hanson’s, Thielen Meats, and Schaefer’s Foods, to ensure the success of our events.
Our team effort was key, with 36 employees volunteering to help make the events a memorable experience for our members.
Overall, the events were a great success, and we’re already planning for next year!
