The Orange Economic Development Corporation together with the Orange Chamber of Commerce is hosting Orange Bicentennial Restaurant and Business Week from May 28 to June 10. The event is one of many that are scheduled all summer to celebrate Orange’s bicentennial.
“We are pleased to work with the town’s Bicentennial Committee to produce this event and encourage the public to support our local restaurants and businesses by taking advantage of their great offers,” said Kathy Charbonneau, executive director of the Orange Chamber of Commerce.
There are currently 13 food establishments and 12 businesses participating, with more expected. The public can look forward to discounts, pre-fixe menus, special items and more during the 14-day event.
“Some of the businesses were really creative with their offers, where they are giving $2 off an item to signify 200 years or presenting items for $18.22 to indicate the year 1822,” said Annemarie Sliby, OEDC’s executive director. “And some restaurants are creating food items with orange ingredients,” she continues.
A list of businesses with their offers are posted on the Orange Economic Development Corporation website at OrangeEDC.com/events_activities.
There is no cost to businesses or restaurants that would like to participate; the deadline to join is May 13. Interested organizations can contact the OEDC at 203-891-1045.
