Join us as we celebrate the best of the Grand Lake region at the Grove Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Gala on Thursday, July 16, at Indigo Sky Casino. This premier evening of recognition, networking, and celebration honors the businesses, organizations, and individuals whose leadership and commitment continue to strengthen our communities. Individual tickets are $60 per person, and table sponsorship opportunities are available, including Silver, Gold, and Diamond levels that provide reserved seating, enhanced marketing exposure, and special event recognition.


We encourage all Chamber members to submit nominations for deserving candidates in the following categories: Large Business of the Year, Small Business of the Year, Emerging Business of the Year, Emerging Young Professional of the Year, Excellence in Education Award, and the Be a Champion – Impact Award. Additional awards will be presented to honor outstanding leadership on the Chamber Board of Directors, exceptional Chamber ambassadors and volunteers, a local non-profit organization, and other leaders who are making a difference throughout our communities. Watch your mailbox for the official Gala invitation and nomination forms and be sure to check your email as we will be sending this information electronically later this week as well.


We want to extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who helped make the 9th Annual Toes in the Grand Summer Kick-Off Festival a tremendous success. The event showcased the very best of Grove and Grand Lake and would not have been possible without the incredible support of our sponsors, volunteers, event partners, vendors, entertainers, and attendees.


We are already planning for the 10th Anniversary of Toes in the Grand, scheduled for June 11-12, 2027, and are committed to making it the biggest and best festival yet. Save the dates now and plan to join us as we celebrate Grove and Grand Lake at one of the region's signature events.


Thank you for your continued support! 


Enjoy your week,

~ Amanda

GREEN COUNTRY TOURISM MEETING

June 9, 2026

Tourism leaders from Grove and Grand Lake were proud to be in Bartlesville today for the annual Green Country Tourism meeting, joining partners from across northeast Oklahoma to celebrate the continued growth and impact of the tourism industry. Oklahoma Tourism remains one of the driving forces behind economic development in Delaware County and across Oklahoma, supporting local businesses, restaurants, attractions, lodging partners, and community events that strengthen our region year-round. With Oklahoma continuing to see record-setting visitor spending and tourism growth, Grand Lake is well positioned as one of the state’s premier travel destinations. The momentum and collaboration happening throughout Green Country is creating exciting opportunities to showcase the natural beauty, hospitality, and experiences that make Grove and Grand Lake such a special place to visit and enjoy.

Attending the meeting was Jeff Lovelady, Grove Convention & Tourism Bureau, Rex Woods, Har-Ber Village on Grand Lake O' The Cherokees, Dana Able, Wolf Creek Park & Expo Center, Amanda Davis, Grove Area Chamber, Nicole Reynolds, Har-Ber Village on Grand Lake O' The Cherokees, Brent Malone, Grove Convention & Tourism Bureau, Carol Merciez, Grove Area Chamber, and Linda Foster, Har-Ber Village on Grand Lake O' The Cherokees.
