The Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce met at First National Bank for their Quarterly Coffee on June 5. The basement meeting room was a packed house attended by Chamber members and their guests. There were many new people introduced as new members and recognition was given to new employees, those retiring from the work force and to promotions. It was a lot of fun and there is a new energy in the Chamber!

The retail stores will remain open until 8 pm, Farmers Market is open from 5 to 7 pm, and the Municipal Band Concert starts at 8 pm. KLMJ is also sponsoring a live concert as a part of Tuesday on the Town by the Farmer’s Market from 5 to 7 pm, featuring Clay Underwood, an up and coming country western singer! The Chamber is sponsoring the Fair parade this year and Brook is excited to be involved and looking for Chamber businesses to be in the parade.
