A Review of 2020

2020 looked a little different to everyone! It has been challenging for many but there has been constant support for the entire community! Here is a quick recap.

We have 180 members and 21 Cornerstone members! New businesses opening while other businesses grew in size! Congratulations to all of the new and existing businesses! You all made it through the toughest year yet!

The community came together to thank our Hometown Heros in the month of May! Over 18 groups of heros were served lunch from our local restaurants!

The Monticello Market on the Square was a HUGE hit!! It averaged 20 vendors a week!

Governor Brian Kemp came to Monticello to visit with business owners and shared some encouragement during this crazy year!

The Golf Tournament was a great event on a beautiful October day! There were 14 teams and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Jasper County Community Food Bank!

The 23rd Annual Deer Dash went virtual this year with many partipants!

Shop Small Saturday, Christmas Market on the Square and Christmas on Venture were a HUGE success! There were over 20 vendors on the Square, 5 at Venture Court and many businesses having special promotions! We hope everyone continues to Shop Small and Shop Local in 2021!!

The Chamber is looking forward to a wonderful year of growth in 2021! Our hope is that you join us!!
