REXBURG—The Rexburg Area Chamber of Commerce’s 2021 Experience Rexburg, sponsored by Basic American Foods was a success! 53 businesses set up booths in Porter Park full of prizes and raffles for the event’s visitors. Experience Rexburg also offered free laser tag, a bounce house, and a Brazilian martial art Capoeira showcase. 

From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., people poured through the booths, standing in line to win prizes and talk to the businesses. The Rexburg Area Chamber of Commerce gave out prizes donated by Rexburg businesses to the winners of trivia questions, push-up competitions, and cookie challenges. 

Rexburg Area Chamber of Commerce CEO, Chris Mann, says, “We’re grateful to Basic American Foods for being our sponsor this year and to all of our vendors. We believe that when students know where to shop, where to get health care, where to bank, they’re more successful as students and more successful as citizens of Rexburg.”
