Yesterday, Arrowhead Transit had the privilege of hosting a momentous event in collaboration with the Hermantown Chamber of Commerce to mark the beginning of our 50th-anniversary celebration. The event, which took place on Thursday, April 11th, was a resounding success, filled with joyous moments and meaningful interactions.
One of the highlights of the event was the ceremonial ribbon-cutting ceremony, symbolizing the proud history and continuous service of Arrowhead Transit for five decades. The Hermantown Chamber of Commerce presented us with a beautiful plaque, a tangible token of appreciation that will forever commemorate this significant milestone.
The event featured insightful speeches from esteemed guests including Kim Parmeter, President of the Hermantown Chamber of Commerce, Brandon Nurmi, Director of Arrowhead Transit, and Johnny Eloranta, District Manager for Congressman Stauber. Their words reflected not only on the history and accomplishments of Arrowhead Transit but also on the deep-rooted connections with the community and the shared vision for future growth and sustainability.
Attendees were treated to a delightful spread at the full charcuterie table, showcasing products from local members of the Hermantown Chamber. The event’s sweetness was further enhanced by cupcakes adorned with our logo, adding a touch of celebration to every bite.
Guests had the opportunity to explore Arrowhead Transit firsthand with guided tours on our buses, showcasing not only our transportation services in Hermantown but also highlighting community and economic development projects such as the thriving business park and housing developments. These initiatives underscore Arrowhead Transit’s vital role in supporting the growth and sustainability of Hermantown and the Twin Ports region.
As a top public transit provider in the Duluth Area, Arrowhead Transit remains committed to serving our communities and looks forward to continued growth and collaboration. The kick-off event was not just a celebration of the past but also a testament to the promising future ahead, filled with opportunities to enrich lives and enhance connectivity.
