Last Wednesday, we teamed up with Emergent Campus Trinidad for a downtown business walkabout! We spent the afternoon visiting businesses along Main Street and Commercial, sharing upcoming event information and, most importantly, connecting with the people who make our community so special.

We had some great conversations, incredible feedback, and lots of positive energy! We’re excited to keep showing up, listening, and supporting our local businesses.

A BIG thank you to the Emergent Campus team for partnering with us and helping make this walkabout happen! We appreciate everyone who joined us, opened their doors, shared their ideas, and continues to invest in our community. ❤️

The Chamber is here for you, Trinidad! We’ll see you around town! 🏘️💼
