What Have we been up to?<br />
What has the chamber been<br />
working on?<br />
We are well into the summer and as always<br />
the summer brings fun, exciting and familiar events<br />
for the Fairmont area Chambe of Commerce.<br />
The chamber kicked off summer with the Annual<br />
Chamber Golf Outing. The weather was perfect<br />
for golfing this year. We had a great turn out for this<br />
event with twenty two golf foursomes and a large<br />
number of Chamber member sponsors who made the<br />
event possible. Thank you to the Rose Lake Golf Club<br />
for having us.<br />
The very next day the Chamber pulled our<br />
"Boat Float" in the Interlaken Heritage Days parade.<br />
We passed out 1,000 Visitor Guides and City Maps.<br />
The Chamber will now look towards the Pork<br />
Masters Golf Outing on <strong>July</strong> 24th at the Interlaken<br />
Golf Course. This event is the biggest golfing day of<br />
the summer and celebrates our Martin County Pork<br />
Producers and everything they do for our communities<br />
and out local economy. Tee times are filling up<br />
fast and so are the sponsorships. Call the Chamber<br />
office to get involved.<br />
We are also in the planning stages for the<br />
Martin County Fair in August. The Fairmont Area<br />
Chamber of Commerce will be at the Fair as always,<br />
with a booth and information about the Chamber<br />
and our Communities. The Chamber's signature<br />
event at the Fair will take place Wednesday August<br />
16th from 5:00p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This will be the 25th<br />
annual Blue Ribbon Pork Cook Off. Be sure to get<br />
your tickets at the Chamber Office, they are selling<br />
fast. Come try some of the best pork dishes this area<br />
has to offer, prepared by local cooks and restaurants.<br />
This event and many sponsors make it possible<br />
for the Fairmont Area Chamber of Commerce's<br />
AgriBusiness Committee to Award 2 Scholarships to<br />
Martin County Students persuing a career in an agriculture<br />
related field. This spring the scholarhsips were<br />

The Mission<br />
Kandi Menne: President, Fairmont Area Chamber of Commerce<br />
“The Fairmont Area Chamber<br />
of Commerce is an advocate for<br />
promoting a healthy business climate<br />
by facilitating access to leaders,<br />
communication and education<br />
through programs and services for its<br />

Our members invest in the<br />
Chamber for many reasons. Many invest to take<br />
advantage of the programs and services that the<br />
Chamber offers, while others invest to support the<br />
work of the Chamber therefore supporting the<br />
business community<br />
The goal of any Chamber is to help to further<br />
the interests of small businesses in our area. The<br />
activities can range from hosting events, to lobbying<br />
local representatives to charitable works for the<br />
betterment of the community.<br />
