The Adel-Cook County Chamber of Commerce’s first Showcase Cook brought several exhibitors and the public together on Thursday afternoon, March 17, at Delle Beamguard Community Center’s social hall.

Chamber President/CEO Jerry Connell estimated that about 150 people from the public not associated with the exhibitors visited Showcase Cook. He and Chamber officials were scheduled to meet later this week and decide - most likely - to make Showcase Cook an annual event in helping citizens become more aware about the range of exciting products and services available in this community.
