A Word From Our President
We are excited to welcome our new President and CEO of the Bay Area Chamber. After an extensive search, we announced Magen Samyn as our first female President and CEO. Magen will be starting on Monday, July 11. I’ve known Magen since she went through Leadership Bay County, when I was a mentor for her class in 2005. She has been an active Chamber member all along. I can assure you that we are in good hands, and look forward to the future of our Chamber under her leadership.

This will likely be my last President's Message, so I’d just like to thank all of you for your support during this time of transition. I’d especially like to thank our Chamber staff who have worked hard to keep everything going, (despite me getting in the way sometimes). Looking forward to moving on to my retirement.

Bay City's beloved rib cook-off festival is back! The Labadie Rib Fest is July 28 - 31 in beautiful Veteran's Memorial Park, where you'll experience nostalgia and new experiences alike during this one-of-a-kind summertime Family Festival. 

Delicious ribs and fixings from MI to TX to VA, 4 nights of great concerts featuring 6 national bands, and a refreshment tent filled with the best regional bands and DJs highlight some of the fun. Families will enjoy exciting pig races, dazzling magic shows, cute animals in a large petting farm, a kids' craft tent, the family stage featuring festive activities and performances by talented local youth, foam dance parties, and much more. 

In addition to a positive economic impact on Bay City, Rib Fest will benefit a multitude of local non-profit groups in a variety of ways, including hosting booths to raise awareness and funds for their worthy causes. Get ready to pig out at the 2022 Labadie Rib Fest!
