Celebrating 100 Years!
George Spencer (center), the owner of Midwest Engines, celebrated his 100th birthday last week! The Chamber made sure to take the time to help celebrate this milestone. George started working at the age of 12, selling candy bars to factory workers around town. Very fitting as we celebrated with candy bars and a balloon. To this day, George still goes to work every day at the office.

Our Chamber offers a Business Directory / Community Guide with the chance for our members to do a paid advertisement inside. It was brought to our attention from several Chamber members that they have been contacted by other businesses, stating they are doing a community guide. One business even said they were affiliated with the Chamber. We are not currently working on our Business Directory / Community Guide and any phone call you receive right now is not affiliated with the Chamber. These businesses may be legitimate but they are a private publication, benefitting their company only. We cannot say whether they are a scam or not however, please realize that if they state they are working with the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce, that information is false.
The Chamber will always send out information when we are working on collecting advertisements for our community guide. Contact us anytime if you want to confirm a business or have questions. Thank you to the Chamber members that took the time to call us so we can get this information to our business community.
Advertising for our next Business Directory / Community Guide book will begin in the fall. You will receive an announcement prior to being contacted.

Meet Sarah Watson, Executive Director for The Heritage at College View. Sarah has been in healthcare for 13 years working as a CNA/MA for 4 years prior getting her associates degree in long term care administration. She graduated from Bellevue University with a bachelors in healthcare management in 2018 and she is currently working on her Masters in Gerontology. Sarah's favorite thing about College View is when she walked in for the first time and noticed a smile on every single face.
Sarah and her husband have 3 children, a 14 year old girl, and 12 year old twins - one boy and one girl. When Sarah is not at work, you can find her spending time with family and friends, either at one of the kids ball games, a Nebraska volleyball game or camping.
Sarah believes the importance of life is to make a positive impactful difference on as many people as you can and she enjoys getting to know what makes people smile every day!
Feel free to stop by and say "hi" or email Sarah at
