Carlton Chamber Connect

Hi everyone,

We wanted to give you a quick heads up that our 2026 Chamber Membership forms have officially been sent out in the mail! Along with that, you’ll also find information on Carlton Daze sponsorship opportunities for this year.

Before we share anything publicly, we wanted you—our members—to be the first to hear about some of the exciting things coming to Carlton Daze 2026.

This year, we’re adding a couple of new, exciting events to the lineup:

We’ll be telling a story in the sky, one that celebrates Carlton and what makes our community special. The storyline is still to be determined, and presenting sponsors will have the opportunity to collaborate with us in shaping that vision. We may also invite additional community input as we get closer.

Saturday: We’re bringing in Ninja Anywhere, an EPIC obstacle course experience for kids (of all ages) featuring warped walls, climbing elements, agility challenges, and inflatable attractions. It’s going to be a huge hit and a great addition to the day alongside the car show and other activities.

We’ve been intentional about bringing new energy to Carlton Daze, and we truly feel like we hit it on the nose with these two additions. The drone show and Ninja Anywhere are expected to generate strong excitement, increase attendance, and create even more buzz around the weekend.

Your support plays a big role in making this possible—and with more eyes on Carlton Daze than ever, your business will benefit from increased visibility and recognition throughout the weekend.

We are also currently looking for up to TWO presenting sponsors for the drone show. This opportunity includes:

• A custom “thank you” message in the sky featuring your logo
• A professional recording of the drone show for your own marketing use (website, social media, etc.)
• All the benefits included in our Gold Sponsorship level
• A bonus opportunity to be included on marketing materials for Mont Du Lac Resort Bowfest happening the same weekend (subject to sponsor category availability)

This is a unique chance to get your business in front of a large audience, especially with all eyes (and phones!) on the sky, capturing and sharing the moment.

If you’re interested in being one of our presenting sponsors, we’d love to connect and share more details. You can give Shanna a call at 218-310-5764.

We’ll be announcing this publicly soon, and when we do, we hope you’ll help us spread the word by sharing the post and helping build excitement across the community!

We’re also excited to share that a pickleball tournament will be added to the schedule, thanks to the Carlton Area Lions Club!

As always, thank you for being part of the Chamber. We truly appreciate your support.
