"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall." — F. Scott Fitzgerald


What an amazing summer here at Grand Lake!

As we welcome September and prepare for the new season, I hope you’ll take a moment to reflect on the many things that make this region such a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family. For me, the cool mornings and the stunning view of the lake are daily reminders that every day brings a new opportunity to begin again.


Looking ahead, the Fall Open House is just around the corner!

If you haven’t submitted your special for the event flyer, please reach out to Carol at the Chamber as soon as possible to be included. Sponsorship spots are also available—add your logo and be part of a flyer that will be widely distributed throughout the region, both in print and via digital campaigns on social media and Google. This is a great way to be local and show your support to our businesses that will move into a new season with less lake traffic over the months ahead. 


Thank you for your continued support through your investments, sponsorships, and committee involvement in the GACC. The best of 2025 is still ahead—and we’re ready for it!
