Chamber News for Members

November 21, 2023

We all remain saddened by the terrible fire this weekend in Downtown Blue Ridge. However, it has been heartening to see this community come together to support those that lost and also those that risked their lives. We live in a community with truly special people! There is more support being planned and we will share information as it is formalized.

CELEBRATING OUR RESILIENT MEMBERS: These businesses have a combined 72+ years of membership with the Chamber. Blue Ridge Bird Seed Company (20 Years), Danielle's Cafe (19 years), Mitzi's on Main (10 years), Afrika Corner & Beyond (8 years), The Bear Store (6 years), Silk Road Traveler (5 years), Lazy Bear Candle & Decor (3 years), Art House (1 year) and Big Frog Music Company (close to 1 year).

If you would like to make a donation to help the 10 downtown businesses that were either destroyed or badly damaged due to Saturday's (November 18, 2023) fire, Blue Ridge Business Association has created a Go Fund Me.
