The goals of the Anahuac Area Chamber of Commerce are to support the community business interest, to promote local businesses, to be active within our community and to provide networking opportunities.
The Chamber starts off each year honoring those who further the goals of the Chamber at its Annual Awards Banquet. The highlight of the evening recognizes the Person of the year – selected by the entire membership for his or her contributions to the community. Also recognized are Business, Outstanding Educator, First Responder, Volunteer Group of the Year, and Lifetime Achievement.
The Chamber hosts a Political Forum during election years to give voters the opportunity to hear and ask questions of those running for public office.
The Gator Classic Golf Tournament, our spring event and fundraiser, is held in May at the beautiful Chambers County Golf Course.
In August, the Chamber hosts a New Teacher Breakfast to welcome new teachers to our schools and our communityThe Texas GATORFEST, by far the Chamber’s biggest event of the year, is a unique festival held in conjunction with the opening of alligator hunting season. The festival is held the first weekend after September 10th at the beautiful Fort Anahuac Park on the Trinity River overlooking Trinity Bay. Acombined effort of the Anahuac Area Chamber and area citizens, the festival’s total volunteer staff of over 450 workers see around 30,000 people in attendance each year.
Chamber members eagerly anticipate and enjoy the annual Christmas Parade and ESA Sorority Tree Lighting. Citizens of the community gather on the lawn of the Historic Chambers Home to watch the parade and tree lighting, and visit with Santa after he arrives atop a fire truck.
Throughout the year the Chamber hosts ribbon cuttings and participates in grand openings for new businesses or those becoming members of the Chamber, responds to student requests for information for school projects, and encourages the public to shop and buy local.
