MARCH 2025: Chamber News + Member News!

March, 2025

President's Message

The Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce is proud to serve as the lead organization once again for planning and directing Lancaster County’s 2025 Ag + Art Tour program.

The 2024 Tour was a huge success with an excellent cross-section of participating farms, art studios, artisans, and over 5,000 visitors to the tour sites! These visitors came from all over South Carolina and certainly made an impact on our local economy!

The 2025 Tour will be a one-day event on Saturday, May 3^rd. We will “Kick-Off” the event with a celebration on Friday, May 2nd, at Laurel Haven Estate and Winery. Stay tuned to the Chamber website and our social media sites for more information in the coming weeks.

Thanks for your partnership in making Lancaster County a better place to live, work, and do business!

Leadership Lancaster

At the end of February, our Leadership Lancaster class dove into the world of healthcare and social services, gaining valuable insight into the vital industries that serve our community.

The day kicked off at MUSC HealthThe 2024-2025 Class participated Business & Industry Day on February 6th! The class spent the day gaining insights from top local organizations, including Nutramax Laboratories, the LCSD Career Center, and INSP at CrossRidge. From economic growth and workforce development to media innovation, each stop provided valuable knowledge and connections for our future leaders!

The Leadership Lancaster class had an inspiring Cultural Arts Day, hosted by the Lancaster County Council of the Arts

The day kicked off at the Historic Springs House with a light breakfast, gallery tours, and an introduction to the many programs LCCA brings to our community. From there, the class headed to the Lancaster Cultural Arts Center to enjoy incredible performances by the South Middle School choir, Lancaster High School choir, Andrew Jackson High School theatre, and Andrew Jackson High School choir.

Dr. La Ruchala Murphy from the SC Humanities Council gave an engaging presentation, followed by some fun and interactive theater games! Next, the class explored Native American arts and culture with a grand tour of the Native American Studies Center. The day wrapped up back at the Historic Springs House with a hands-on art experience and walking tours of downtown murals. What a day filled with creativity, culture, and community!
