Tourism Marketing Grant Available!
October 30, 2020 By
Have no Fear – Help is Here…. The Hutchinson Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism has a grant to help offset marketing costs to get people to come to your event- Here are the two biggest things to know:
- Marketing (for the grant) must be outside a 30 mile radius of Hutchinson, MN.
- The Chamber/Tourism logo has to be included in the ad or marketing medium.
Through our tourism program, we work to attract more people to Hutchinson, MN. We have much to offer, and our businesses are here to serve those who visit. More people in Hutchinson generates more revenue for our businesses…. Which generates more tax revenue…. Which repairs our streets, keeps police officers in our neighborhoods, keeps our water clean… you get where I am going with that.
Several events have applied and received Tourism Marketing Grant money – Hutchinson Area Boat and RV Show, The Big Little Hunting & Fishing Expo, Minnesota Pottery Festival, Hutchinson Jaycee Water Carnival, RiverSong, McLeod County Fair and Minnesota Garlic Festival.
Event Marketing Tip: When you are setting up a marketing plan, be sure to diversify. Publications, radio, posters and social media are all important in today’s world. Be sure you are doing everything to set your event up for success. Focusing too heavily on only one of these options can drastically reduce your attendance.
We look forward to receiving your application and we’re happy to answer any questions you may have.

December 2020- Business of the Month

134 Main St S Hutchinson, MN

The Max family moved to Hutchinson in 1994 and immediately fell in love with the community. They knew it was a great community to raise a family and call home. When Ameriprise first came to Hutchinson, it managed about 8 million dollars in assets. Since then, they have grown and now manage over 225 million! The staff has grown to include another advisor/Certified Financial Planner and 3 support staff. They believe this growth can be attributed to providing exceptional client service and personal advice.
Marc Max and team independently own and operate as a franchise with Ameriprise Financial, specializing in financial planning and investment management. Their business focuses on retirement planning, tax planning and estate planning.
Ameriprise credits much of its success to the support and giving of the Hutchinson community. Therefore, have been happy to give back by participating and serving in various ways. Marc stated “Between my wife, Michele, and I we’ve been active in Rotary, served on Church Committees, youth sports, school bond referendums, The Hutchinson Community Foundation, the Hutchinson Health Foundation and The ISD 423 Foundation. We can’t emphasize enough how important it is to give back to your community with time and monetary support whenever possible.”
