Welcome to the Lufkin Chamber

Have an event downtown for all ages. one weekend a year, in the evening. Have the roads blocked off, invite musicians (from around town: guitarists, singers, any talent) to come and have their own little space to preform. Restaurants, hotels, and shops all open. (including the new awesome coffee shop). You guys could even set up a few booths. If you posted ads in town (and at the schools definately), then you would get a big crowd. E-mail me for more details because I have a lot of ideas :)

Not a big idea but an idea none the less. Get rid of the alligators in the lake next to the zoo. Then rent Canoe's & Paddle boats.

I have two ideas. One the city could invite Dave & Buster to open a place here. they could use the old Randall's building.

Second, Provide classes on the sport of geocaching. Invite geocachers to hold events here in the city. For information about geocaching http://www.geocaching.com.

First of all, thank you very much for the Buffalo Wild Wings. Next my family would really like to see a Kohl's. Despite the stores that we do have hear most of our shopping is done in Beaumont or Austin for that store alone.

A park for dogs!! I have a 70 pound baby who couldn't even hurt a fly, and running for the ball inside my aprtment is getting old. He is such a sweetheart! He used to live in another state with my son, and they would always take him to this amazing place for dogs. It hurts my heart to always have him on a leash when we go outside. Make it happen please!!!

my big ideal is to bring a company like itz to lufkin so the kids can a fun place to play and spend time

I believe Lufkin, Tx needs a publicly funded NO KILL animal shelter that helps nuttier neglected and abused animals back to health to be adopted by a family who will actually love them

We need a Lane Bryant-for plus size shopping!!! A Chuck E. Cheese for the kids!!! Some type of skate park area so that kids can get out there and skatein a safe family friendly enviroment. There also needs to be a place to hang out-shoot pool besides the bowling alley-a large open area with lots of pool tables-jukebox-arcade gamesa family friendly enviroment-to have good clean entertainment-theres nothing but bars here!!!

After Playzone and Lazertag closed, there aren't enough kiddie places for birthday parties. We need get more indoor party places.

Thanks

Lufkin really needs a place for plus size women to shop. Catherines and Lane Bryant would be great. It makes no sense to have to go out of town to shop for clothes. It would even benefit the communities surrounding Lufkin as well. Also we need more industry jobs, I know people talk about a retirement community here, no disrespect to those who are retired but for us that live and work here we need jobs. There's a lot of eating places being built but we need jobs to sustain families. Jobs with higher wages,insurance and benefits. I work in the service industry but when there's no jobs and no money people cut back and no one makes any money. Please do something, Lufkin is a great place to live but we have to have good jobs.

For years Lufkin has tried to welcome Tourists,the Retired and Snowbirds. Yet we refuse to offer them Campgrounds (don't want trailer trash) yet most drive $100,000. motor homes or pull lovely R Vs. We lost Hank creek Marina, the only recreation camp near Lufkin. Never developed Marion Ferry Park and now we can't decide what to do with Lake Kurth, what a great opportuniy for fantastic Visitors Park, the state would be proud of. I owned a motor home & you have no idea what other states offer travelers in the way of pleasure and ways to spend freely in their cities.

A great minature golf course like the pirate themed one in Hot Springs Arkansas. Not like the little rinky dink putt putt courses that we have had in the past. When we go on vacation and take our grandchildren we will do museum's and attractions during the day and in the evening we search out any minature golf courses. Tucson Arizona has some wonderful ones. Please check into this you will be amazed at how many families will come to this. We don't have anything the family can do for entertainment other than the zoo or bowling. Any age and ability of a person can usually handle minature golf.
