Welcome to the Fayette County Chamber’s little corner of the world where business meets community. Since this is our first time back in the corner in awhile, I thought I’d take the opportunity to tell you what we do for Fayette County.

• share business information with new residents
• promote local shopping by featuring businesses on our social media pages
• honor local businesses with our annual awards Gala
• help new businesses get the word out
• connect first time business owners with services they might need
• host monthly luncheons to connect business owners
• promote tourism of Fayette County
• visit business owners regularly to promote and assist success

One aspect of the Chamber that you might not be familiar with is our involvement in tourism. Over the next few months you will see us promoting Fayette County and all that it has to offer for both the tourists and the local residents. When you have lived in a place many years or your whole life, it’s easy to miss the beauty and opportunities that exist right here in our backyard. We can’t wait to showcase the beauty that is Fayette County, the businesses that keep it going and the residents that make this county a friendly place to call home. Who do you think we should feature? Is there a business that just lights you up when you walk in? Is there a resident going out of their way to make Fayette County a better place? Drop me a line at karri@fayettecountychamber.com Make sure to check the Chamber Corner out next week to read about a business that has made a mark in Fayette County. Until then…think local, shop local and shop Fayette first!
