New Chamber Logo Premiers!



The New Avon/Canton Chamber Logo is here! Premiering at our 57th Annual Meeting & Awards Luncheon, it illustrates the Farmington Valley within an abstract of Connecticut; and pays homage to our membership, which emanates from not only the Valley and surrounding region but throughout the entire state. The color palette chosen is a nod to both the primary blue that was part of the Canton Chamber of Commerce logo and the primary green that has been part of the Avon Chamber of Commerce logo. 

Over the next several months the Chamber will be working on producing new Membership Plaques and distributing them to all of you!
