Celebrating its 50th anniversary, the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce held its annual State of the Chamber event in the presence of 160 attendees at the Community Center to discuss chamber growth, welcome new board members and celebrate 50 years of service to local businesses.
Officially created as a nonprofit organization, the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce was established on Nov. 19, 1974, as a breakfast club of local business owners and managers which later became the Chamber of Commerce.
Today, the Chamber is known for its Fountain Festival of Fine Arts and Crafts, the only Thanksgiving Day Parade in Arizona and several more events and services that support local businesses, artists and nonprofit organizations around the Valley.
