What excites me most is not only seeing the Hucksters Day event grow each year that I have been a part of it, but what it reflects about Hometown pride. Butler has always been a community of supporters—people who care deeply about local businesses and their neighbors. After briefly moving away, I knew I wanted to come back and do whatever I could to help this town thrive.
As Executive Director of the Chamber, my role is to promote commerce in Butler, but I’m fortunate to work alongside a community that shares that vision. The citizens of Butler are showing up, supporting one another, and helping more businesses grow. Hucksters Day wasn’t just a reflection of the Chamber’s work—it was a reflection of the work our community is willing to put in.
Even in the rain, people came to the square, supported their neighbors, and demonstrated exactly how community drives commerce. That’s what makes Butler such a special place, and I am proud to call it home.
