Goals
Our goal is to maintain Tonganoxie as the viable, economically sustainable community that it is and help it grow. We do this through supporting one another’s businesses and sponsoring and organizing events. These events include, but are not limited to, the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade, Sunflower Stroll, Spooktacular, and the Mayor’s Christmas Tree Lighting. The most recent Tonganoxie Business Association contribution to our community was to place the flower pots on the downtown light poles adding a splash of color to our already beautiful downtown.
