<strong>Grove</strong> <strong>City</strong> Area Chamber of Commerce<br />
To create a positive environment for the development and success of business<br />
Chamber Open is July 11<br />
It’s time to grab your golf bags and get<br />
your swing back in shape, because registration<br />
is now open for this summer’s Chamber<br />
Open golf outing on July 11 at Hickory Hills<br />
Golf Club.<br />
Golfers are encouraged to form teams,<br />
but can register individually for this full day<br />
of golf, food, and fellowship. It’s a Monday,<br />
so why not call it a three-day weekend for<br />
the sake of golf?<br />
This is a fantastic way to get out of the<br />
office for a day and network, celebrate your<br />
work team’s accomplishments, or invite<br />
clients or other colleagues to join you on the<br />
links. Non-Chamber members are also welcomed<br />
to join the fun and can use this as a<br />
way to meet other Chamber members in a<br />
more casual environment.<br />
The day tees off at 10 a.m. and will conclude<br />
by 4 p.m., with plenty of food along the<br />
way. There will also be a silent auction and<br />
goodie bags for golfers. This year’s event will<br />
support the <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>City</strong> Buddy Ball program.<br />
Those interested in participating as a<br />
golfer, or supporting by way of sponsorship<br />
or auction donation, can call the Chamber<br />
office: 614-875-9762, or visit the Chamber<br />
Open’s website: www.gcchamber.org/chamber-golf-outing/<br />

A sampling of the products recently available at the <strong>2022</strong> <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>City</strong> Chamber Farmers’<br />
Market. Every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon in the <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>City</strong> Town Center, shoppers<br />
can find the latest locally-made goods and fresh seasonal produce.<br />
Farmers’ Market back in season!<br />
The <strong>2022</strong> <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>City</strong> Chamber Farmers’<br />
Market kicked off in mid-May and is<br />
under way with a variety of local products–from<br />
made-from-scratch treats to<br />
local produce and meats.<br />
The first half of the Market, or the<br />
‘spring market’ as some may know it, features<br />
more locally-made goods in addition<br />
to meats and some produce. Spring flowers,<br />
strawberries, and asparagus are popular<br />
early season items fresh from the<br />
gardens.<br />
The summer portion of the Market will<br />
kick off mid-<strong>June</strong> as summer produce begins<br />
to come into season. If all goes well<br />
in the growing season, Market patrons<br />
can expect to see favorites such as sweet<br />
corn and melons shortly after. As always,<br />
seasonal produce is a hot item and customers<br />
are advised to arrive early as sell<br />
outs can and will occur.<br />
The Market is open every Saturday<br />
this summer from 8 a.m. to noon. The<br />
Market can be found in the <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
Town Center, specifically in the large<br />
parking lot along Park Street on the west<br />
side of Broadway. In ‘building speak,’ this<br />
is between the Broadway Station Apartments<br />
and the <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>City</strong> Library. There<br />
is ample parking on the street and in<br />
other public lots, but the Chamber encourages<br />
customers to be mindful of parking<br />
exclusive to specific businesses.<br />
Additional information about the Market,<br />
including a list of participating vendors,<br />

the <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>City</strong> Food Pantry and is<br />
