Sometimes a smaller crowd makes for the BEST conversations!

With the first week of school keeping everyone busy, this week’s Chamber Chat was a little more intimate, and we loved it. Smaller gatherings give us the chance to slow down, have meaningful conversations, and get to know our fellow Chamber members a little better.

That’s what Chamber Chat is all about: connection, conversation, and community.

Will we see you at the next one? We’d love the chance to get to know YOU better!

We had some pretty incredible young entrepreneurs join us this morning!

Red Curls presented to the West Columbia Gorge Chamber of Commerce and shared the story behind their locally created Emergency Tick Kits. These two 11-year-old twin entrepreneurs are already turning an idea into a business, solving a problem, and learning what it takes to build something of their own.

We love supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs in our community, and these two are extraordinary!

Be sure to check out Red Curls and their products. We think you’ll be just as impressed as we were!
