⚠️ Event Update ⚠️

Due to incoming inclement weather, we have made the decision to postpone both Rip’s Ribs Cook-Off and Rip’s Wine Festival.

The safety of our vendors, competitors, and community is our top priority, and with storms in the forecast this weekend, we want to ensure everyone can fully enjoy these events.

📅 New Date: Saturday, May 9th

Eastland High School Jazz Festival remains on Saturday, April 11!

We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to see you all in May for an even bigger and better celebration in downtown Eastland!

Vendors and cook-off teams: you will be receiving a phone call from the Chamber office today with more details and next steps.

Stay safe, and we’ll see you soon!

We had the honor of celebrating the retirement of Debbie Wharton after 20 incredible years of service at the Connelee Hotel & Civic Center.
Debbie has been a part of so many cherished milestones and meaningful moments in our community. Her kindness, dedication, and heart have definitely been felt by many.
We are beyond grateful for her years with us and wish her every happiness and continued success in this well-deserved new chapter, as she joins the Eastland Community Foundation Board.
