Coulterville People in the News

Just wanted to congratulate Gretchen Steele and Brad Hirte on their recent accomplishments. It has been nice the past two weeks reading about Coulterville people doing good in the news. Gretchen has received awards for her wonderful photography and Brad Hirte has been recognized for his service to the people of Haiti through his job. Both great articles and its people like them that make Coulterville a great place. If you haven’t read either of these articles be sure to check them out in the Sparta Paper and County Journal

Boy Scouts

As seen in a recent County Journal article the Boy Scouts of America are looking to form a troop in the Coulterville area. Mr. John Nelzen District Executive of the Kaskaskia District has approached the Chamber for assistance. We are in need of at least 4 individuals who are interested in Boy Scouts to get the program started. If you are interested or have any questions please feel free to contact myself, Danny Ruppert (Chamber President) at bcl@wildblue.net, or John Nelzen (Boy Scouts) at jnelzen@bsamail.org.

Phoenix Graphix’s Fire

On Wednesday January 21 Phoenix Graphix’s Print Shop was destroyed by fire. This is a great lost to the business community of Coulterville as Phoenix Graphix’s served many people in Coulterville and the surrounding area. Phoenix Graphix’s was also very civic minded as they supported many projects within Coulterville including the Coulterville Holiday Light Display. Over the past 5 years Phoenix Graphix’s has donated hundreds of dollars worth of supplies to the Light Display. The Village of Coulterville looks forward to the rebuilding of Phoenix Graphix’s and appreciates thier support and dedication to our community over the years.
