May 21, 2025

Thank you to the participants that registered for the new Grand Lake Adventure

Passport program. We have over thirty stops that will be included for non-locals and

locals to visit to take advantage of special deals all over the lake region. Watch for more

details on how to earn entries into cash drawings that will happen after Labor Day

weekend.


Mark your calendars for June 20-28 for our Summer Sidewalk Sale. We will partner with

the City of Grove to prepare for thousands of guests that will take over the region during

this anticipated fishing event. We will have a page on our website to feature your

specials and hours of operation during this fun campaign to help our members attract

new customers. Get ready for a ginormous week at Grove as we welcome the Student

World Finals Tourney.


We have a few spots left for Friday’s Legislative & Tourism Breakfast Forum. If you

have not registered, call the Chamber today. Tickets are $20.


If you have events taking place around the lake, please make sure you’ve added them

on our new website. You can use this link to add them:

https://business.groveok.org/community-calendar


As always, thank you for your continued support of the Grove Area Chamber. We are

growing and invite you to plug into the many programs available for our members. It’s

going to be a record year for the region. Come join us.


Make it a great week,

~ Amanda
