The members of the Fennimore Area Chamber of Commerce are always exploring and considering new events and activities to engage our community members and encourage others to come explore Fennimore. Below are some events and promotions we have hosted in previous years. Stay tuned to see what we have in store for 2022!!
Shop Local Promotions
The Fennimore Chamber always encourages community members and travelers to shop local, and at different times throughout the year, we reward them with prizes! Our Shop Local promotions take place four times throughout the year for a period of three weeks. Weekly prizes are awarded and all entries go into a drawing for a grand prize! All you have to do is shop local to win!
Business Showcase
A Business Showcase is a social activity hosted by Fennimore Chamber member businesses as a way to introduce and highlight the goods and services they offer. Chamber members and their employees are encouraged to attend the Business Showcase for a few minutes or for the entire event.
CARE Calls
The CARE Committee (Chamber Associates Recognizing Each Other) visits chamber member businesses who are celebrating a milestone anniversary or event, a new manager of the business or the offering of a new product.
