Atikokan's Chamber of Commerce is taking a different approach to promoting its community.
Office Manager Jolene Wood says they're forgoing the traditional fall trade show for an event that encompasses the entire downtown area.
"What we want to do is showcase some of the businesses downtown," says Wood, "and give them an opportunity to have sidewalk sales or promotions of their own. Just to let people remember that we have shops downtown and to get them to come down and get shopping."
The September 10th event will include some booths at the Legion for out-of-town businesses wanting to participate.
