Your Chamber @ Work

For some reason, winter won't let spring take off. I think we would all agree that it's time for the changing of the season! We sure enjoyed those 80 degree temps last week.  


This is the last call for ad space in the new Chamber publication that will go to print in April. We use this as a major resource for visitors, new residents, and have added an enhanced section to recruit new businesses to the lake region. It's a very cost effective way to join forces with the Chamber to promote your brand. Our distribution of the guide is expanding as well for 2025 into 2026. We have added a Route 66 section to sell Grand Lake to a new market that will be traveling the mother road as the world celebrates the Centennial of Route 66. Don't miss a chance to get in front of hundreds of thousands of visitors! 


If you have an event that is not on our website, please jump online and get it added. As we launch a new spring campaign in the weeks ahead, we will push out the event calendar very aggressively. You will see more details on the "See Grand Lake" theme as we target many industry segments. Get those events added today.  


We are grateful to our members and partners as we continue to grow. It's a great time to be a part of the Grove Area Chamber of Commerce.  


Make it a great week!
