“Be present in all things and thankful for all things.” – Maya Angelou


It’s Thanksgiving week — the perfect time to celebrate with family, friends, neighbors, and our community. We hope you are able to pause in the coming days and reflect on the goodness that surrounds each of us.


It has been a busy yet incredibly rewarding season for the Grove Area Chamber of Commerce. Our team has thoroughly enjoyed the past few weeks of Shop Grand Lake giveaways and meeting so many shoppers who are out supporting local businesses across Grove and the Grand Lake region.


Please make plans to join us on Friday, December 5th, for the Shop Grand Lake Grand Finale in the Grove Downtown Square. The day will kick off live music with Porter Crossing from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. At 6 p.m. the stage will open with performances from the Grove Choirs, followed by the City of Grove’s Lights on Grove ceremony — complete with a visit from Santa Claus. Afterward, the Chamber will take the stage to begin drawing for the cash giveaways. You must be present with your ticket for a chance to win one of our major prizes: two $2,500 giveaways and one $5,000 giveaway. A heartfelt thank-you goes out to our sponsors and participating merchants for investing in this important community initiative.


As we move into December, we encourage you to ensure your holiday events — as well as your 2026 events — are on our community calendar at www.groveok.org. Simply visit the website, click on Community Calendar, and add your event. Our team is currently preparing new event calendars and promotions, so don’t miss the opportunity for additional visibility.


Thank you for your continued support of the Chamber. We are excited to roll out new programs in the coming year designed to serve and support you — our valued members.


Happy Thanksgiving,

~ Amanda

RIBBON CUTTING

Eagle's Nest

Thursday, November 20th, the Grove Area Chamber Ambassadors held a ribbon cutting for The Eagle's Nest at Patricia Island Country Club.

Jason Evans is excited to be able to offer delicious, high quality food to the public, like what has been served upstairs at Mulligans for the past nine years. This is a great spot to "hang out" and watch your favorite sports team on one of the many screens, have your favorite beverage, play an arcade game or shuffle board, or take a turn on the golf simulator! Stop by and check it out at 4980 Clubhouse Road.

Attending the ribbon cutting: Chamber Executive Vice President Connie King; Tabie Morrow, Gavin Wall, Matt Holum, Katie Griffin, Andy Stewart, Sarah Sullivan, & Andy Stewart all with Eagle's Nest and the Country Club; cutting the ribbon Jason Evans; Todd Deakins, AFN Mortgage Grove; Mark Detherage, Patricia Island Country Club; Roger Marrs & Diane Hampton, Northeast Tech; Ileta Bray, Legacy Real Estate; Louise Steffen Templin; Chris Wedel & Aidan Trimble, WP Fencing LLC; and Chamber President Amanda Davis.
