The Monett Smoke and Sound Festival was a hit! We had a blast hosting the Kids Zone and getting to spend the day with so many families from our community.

There’s nothing better than seeing everyone come together, enjoy the day, and support local events like this! ☀️

⛳️ We had such a fun time being part of the Monett Area Chamber of Commerce golf tournament!

A big shoutout to Great Dave’s Coffee for keeping everyone caffeinated during check-in! ☕️ We can always count on them for pouring into our community.

We’re grateful for events like this that bring local businesses and community members together.

Bring the kiddos by from 10AM-4PM and join us for:
🏰 A bounce house from the Monett Area YMCA

📣 Friendly Reminder! 📣

Join us TOMORROW, June 25, for our June networking event at Briar House Brewing Company from 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM!

This month’s gathering is extra special because the Monett Chamber of Commerce is celebrating its 8️⃣0️⃣th Anniversary with an Open House earlier in the evening from 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM at the Chamber office. 🎉

Stop by the Open House to connect with fellow community members, celebrate the Chamber’s incredible impact on Monett, and then head over to Briar House Brewing to continue building relationships and growing your network.

We look forward to seeing you there!
