The Stewarts

Our family visited Salida over the summer and we were amazed at all of the activities available at our doorstep. During our four-day stay we rafted, rode horses, hiked, and hit a great beer festival. We can’t wait to return!

“We have been members of the Salida Chamber of Commerce since 1999. It was the first thing we did when opening up our business. The Salida Chamber brings many members of our town together. So many events and fundraisers would not exist without their hard work. They are the foundation of the community.”

“Salida is lucky to have such a dedicated group running our Chamber. ‘Resourceful’ and ‘professional’ come to mind when I think of our Chamber. They’ve been a great help in marketing our business and promoting the area. I am very happy to be a member of such a progressive group.”

“The Salida Chamber of commerce has been an important cornerstone for our business since before day one. Lori got to know us and our business early on, and she and her team have been amazing “connectors” in the community, helping us navigate running a small business and connect to other business partners in the county. Participating in the Chamber has been invaluable to us; providing a “lay of the land” in the Salida area and beyond and helping us make critical decisions regarding our offerings and strategies. Joining the Salida Chamber is highly recommended as a smart move for running a successful business!”

“Salida is a tight knit community and the Chamber is the heart of it. The Salida Chamber of Commerce has provided me the ability to make connections in the area, which I could not do by myself. I went from being just another business to ‘The Garage Door Guy on Hwy 50’. The chamber staff are there to assist you with your marketing needs, providing support to help grow any business. My suggestion to any business…Go to chamber events, get involved, meet the community and have fun.”
