Chamber Activities
Business Expo
The Business Expo is held in May. The
purpose of the Expo is to allow area businesses the
opportunity to showcase their goods and services. The
community is invited to come out and see what area businesses
have to offer. A Purchasing Managers Marketplace is available
to allow business people the opportunity to gain insight on
how to do business with a particular company.
Ambassadors
 This
committee of volunteers represents the Chamber of Commerce at
ribbon cuttings and special community events. They cultivate
goodwill and build a positive image for the Chamber.
Participation is open to any member business. Great networking
opportunity!
Buffalo Gnat
Control Program
The Chamber coordinates the Buffalo Gnat
Control Program on a 42 mile section of the Sulphur River from
Lake Wright Patman Dam to the Red River. The purpose of the
program is to reduce the number of Buffalo Gnats emerging to
the lowest number possible. This vital program saves millions
of dollars annually for industry, agriculture, and livestock
operations due to the reduction of Buffalo Gnats
