Ribbon Cutting Extravaganza to Celebrate Small Business Month Hosted by the Howell Chamber of Commerce 

HOWELL, MI – [April 30, 2025] – The Howell Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce its Ribbon Cutting Extravaganza taking place Tuesday, May 6, 2025, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Livingston Business HUB located at 123 E. Washington Street, Howell. This high-energy event is part of the Chamber’s month-long celebration of Small Business Month, honoring the entrepreneurs and innovators who are the backbone of Livingston County’s economy.
The Ribbon Cutting Extravaganza will showcase a variety of small businesses, home-based businesses, and start-ups from across the county. Each participating business will enjoy their own personalized ribbon cutting ceremony, complete with professional photos, live social media coverage, and special shoutouts highlighting their unique story and contributions to the community.
"Small businesses are the heart of our community, creating jobs, innovation, and the special character that makes Livingston County thrive," said Jennifer Nielsen, Membership Director of the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce. "We are thrilled to provide an opportunity for these businesses to shine and share their stories during Small Business Month."
This event is free for Chamber members and serves as a dynamic platform to increase business visibility and foster deeper community connections. It is especially geared toward solo entrepreneurs, home-based businesses, and businesses without a traditional brick-and-mortar footprint who might not otherwise have had the opportunity for a traditional ribbon cutting celebration.
“We’re excited to be a part of the Ribbon Cutting Extravaganza. As a local food truck small business, we’ve relied heavily on the Chamber for networking opportunities, new client referrals, booking events and business advice.” shared Banks Lilly owner of Slappin’ Meats, “They’ve been there for us every step of the way!  We look forward to serving the community delicious barbecue cuisine and celebrating with other small businesses!”
Guests can enjoy local flavors during the event, with Slappin' Meats BBQ and Wildflower Mobile Bar on-site serving up delicious food and beverages as part of the celebration.
The Ribbon Cutting Extravaganza is just one of many ways the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce supports its members. In addition to promotional events, Chamber members enjoy access to business-building programs, leadership development opportunities, marketing exposure, and a vibrant network of local entrepreneurs and community leaders.
