TRAVERSE CITY -- With Easter behind us, some people may be ready to start thinking ahead.  And the area's largest chamber of commerce is talking to those in charge of some of the major *summer events.

TV 7 & 4 is partnering with the Traverse City Area Chamber of Commerce. Each weekend we'll bring you a preview of the chamber's weekly television program, called "Chamber Connections." The 30-minute show is dedicated to business issues, economic development and the northwest Michigan community. 

This coming week, the chamber is focusing on northern Michigan festivals - like the National Cherry Festival and Horse Shows by the Bay.  This weeks' guests will talk about the economic impact their festivals can have on the regional economy. 

You can catch new episodes of "Chamber Connections" every week on Up North 2 - that's cable access channel 2 in the Traverse City area.  This week's episode premieres on Tuesday and replays throughout the week.  You can also view episodes online anytime you like.
