What Does the Chamber Do?
Your Chamber dues are an investment in your community! Your Chamber is a working group with several committees involved in everything from economic development to staging a number of community events.
•The Adopt-a-Family program operates as an arm of the Chamber. Between financial and product donations, the Chamber was able to see over 50 families provided with toys for the kids, blankets, coats and food.
•The Chamber presents educator, agriculture and civic awards each year to individuals who have made lasting contributions to this community.
•Walthall County Dairy Festival, the county’s premier event each June, is accomplished by a Chamber sponsored committee, as are other dairy month activities.
•Another event Tylertown is well known for, Christmas in the Park, completed a record season this year, again with Chamber involvement.
•Christmas shopping at home promotions such as Holiday Open House, Tylertown Tree Lighting, Country Christmas Festival, Santa Comes to Town, culminating in a big drawing for $1,500 in Tylertown Shopping Dollars, are possible because of your Chamber’s efforts.
•During the spring of the year, the Chamber-sponsored Easter Parade downtown for children, encourages local shopping and the community-wide Easter Egg Hunt is wildly popular among kids and parents.
•The South Mississippi Boucherie is sanctioned by the Mississippi Barbeque Network and attracts professional cooks from far and wide.
•Other projects through the Chamber include Tylertown’s Christmas Parade, the Miss Hospitality selection tea and a town wide Halloween party.
Good things happen through the Chamber, and we haven’t even touched on the cooperation of the county Economic Development Authority--an off-shoot of the chamber--and its role in attracting new industry and staying attuned to present day needs of the community. There are many good things being done, many good things in the works, because of the Walthall Chamber of Commerce.
