Promoting a business-friendly culture that connects, engages, and inspires businesses to build meaningful relationships with our community.
Join us on the 2nd Thursday of every month for First Cup Connections, the Monthly Chamber Meeting or both. Each event stands on its own, so you can attend whichever fits your schedule.
Shop Southern Boone!
Every dollar spent locally helps build a stronger, more connected community. The Shop Local Boone initiative encourages residents to support the businesses, restaurants, service providers, and entrepreneurs who help make Boone County a great place to live, work, and visit.
Choosing local helps create jobs, supports local families, strengthens our economy, and keeps more money circulating within our community. It also helps preserve the unique character of our towns by investing in the people and businesses that give them their identity.
Whether you are shopping, dining, hiring a service, or planning your next event, choosing a local business makes a meaningful difference. Together, we can support our neighbors, celebrate local entrepreneurship, and build a stronger future for Boone County.
2026 Honky Tonk
The Southern Boone Chamber Honky Tonk returns on Saturday, August 22, 2026, for another unforgettable evening of live music, dancing, laughter, and community spirit. After becoming a well-loved favorite last year, this lively celebration is once again bringing together local businesses, friends, families, and neighbors at the Ashland Optimist Club. The evening begins with dance lessons from 6–7 p.m., followed by live music from 54 Country from 7–10 p.m. This is a BYOB event, so dust off your boots, round up your crew, and get ready for a night full of country charm, great energy, and good old-fashioned fun.
