Dexter the Chamber Dog recently enjoyed a delicious lunch at Bleu Monkey Grill, one of our valued Chamber members! 🙈 He savored one of the best cheeseburgers he's ever had, his words! The friendly waitress even brought him a bowl of water while he relaxed on the patio. 🍔 Dexter had such a good time he even offered to pick up the bill! Thank you, Bleu Monkey Grill, for your warm hospitality, fantastic food, and for being pet-friendly! 🐾

Flavor of the Park COULD NOT HAVE GONE BETTER!! ⚡️⚡️ This is one of the Chamber's favorite events to do. One of our biggest goals is to bring the community together and help our businesses grow, so to be able to do both is truly amazing. 🙌 Thank you to our sponsors who made this event possible: Arvest, CHI St. Vincent, Oaklawn, HyperFiber, Logo Logic, Motorsports Authority, Advantage Title & Escrow, Evilo, Mountain Valley Water, and Coca-Cola Bottling Company! 🥇 Another big thank you to the participating restaurants, our helpful ambassadors, our diligent staff, DJ Courier, and of course our spectacular locals (and non-locals) who came out to eat and have fun! See you next year! #hotsprings #flavorofthepark #downtownhotsprings

Congratulations to all winners!!

Ryan Orrell, President/CEO of Webmonster.com, delivered an excellent Lunch & Learn presentation today over Google Optimization! 📊 Thank you to everyone who came, it was a full house! Another thank you to Scott Burton, CDFA® for facilitating and Pinnacle IT for providing lunch!

As we like to say, high five to the top five!!! 💃👑 The Academic Excellence Banquet is the perfect opportunity to honor the brilliant young minds attending Garland County schools and show them how proud their community is of their achievements! 🧠 A huge shoutout to Weyerhaeuser for sponsoring this event for the last 19 years, we could not do it without you! Also, thank you to the Hot Springs Convention Center staff for all their help!

Draft Day 2024 - Hot Springs was a major success with over 1,400 students from all 7 Garland County schools and 13 others visiting, interviewing, and even getting hired by 53 Arkansas and Hot Springs-based businesses! Thank you to all the students and businesses who came prepared to hire and be hired, and to Amanda Porter and the Lake Hamilton School District team for their unwavering efforts to make this event run as smoothly as possible! You guys are amazing, thank you. Shout out to Joe Johnson from Smokin’ In Style and Jose Soto from Jose’s for the excellent food catered for us both days! We hope Draft Day encourages our youngsters to stay in Hot Springs a little bit longer, or for some to realize that our wonderful town is the place they're meant to be in after high school.

There’s truly nothing better than having team members who enjoy AND embrace the role they’ve been given. Hannah wears many hats, and she rocks all of them!
