There is no shortage of opportunities to get involved, grow your business, and connect with fellow Chamber members over the next few weeks! Whether you're looking to network, celebrate fellow businesses, support local organizations, or simply enjoy everything happening throughout the Grand Lake region, our Community Calendar is packed with opportunities to keep you engaged.


We're also gearing up for two exciting Chamber events this fall and invite our members to get involved! Sponsorship opportunities are now available for the Chamber Golf Tournament on Thursday, September 24, at Patricia Island Country Club. Team registrations are $500 per team, and Hole Sponsorships are just $100. This annual tournament is one of the Chamber's important fundraising events that helps support our operations and member programs throughout the year. More importantly, it's always a fantastic day on the greens to network, strengthen existing relationships, and build valuable new business connections.


While you're making plans for September, don't forget to gather your best recipe and enter the Delaware County Chili Cook-off Competition during Grand Lake Fest on September 12 at Wolf Creek Expo! Entry is only $50 per team, and competitors will battle for cash prizes, trophies, and, of course, bragging rights! Whether you're a seasoned chili master or simply looking for a fun way to showcase your business, this is a great opportunity to be part of one of the region's newest and most exciting community events.


Remember, one of the many benefits of Chamber membership is the opportunity to promote your own events through the Chamber's Community Calendar. If your business has an upcoming event, grand opening, fundraiser, workshop, or special promotion, submit it to the Chamber so thousands of residents and visitors can discover what's happening. Visit www.groveok.org regularly to stay connected, support fellow members, and take advantage of everything our Chamber community has to offer.


Thank you for your continued support of the Grove Area Chamber of Commerce as we head into another exciting season on Grand Lake. We appreciate the opportunity to serve as a resource for your business, and we're always just a phone call away if we can help you finish 2026 strong.


Have a great week,

~ Amanda
