The Greater Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce is inviting area businesses and community members to take part in two upcoming events in March that highlight networking, celebration, and community connection.
The first event, Chamber Business Connection, will be held Thursday, March 5, 2026, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Heartland Community Theatre, located at 108 N. Washington Street in downtown Clinton. This is a come-and-go networking event that also celebrates the theatre’s 30th anniversary. Attendees are encouraged to stop by anytime during the event to connect with fellow Chamber members and local professionals. Food and drinks will be served.
Later in the month, the Chamber will partner with Clinton Main Street for the Annual Chamber Banquet, scheduled for Thursday, March 26, 2026, at the Benson Convention Center, 1008 East Sedalia Avenue in Clinton. This year’s banquet theme is “Together Toward Tomorrow.” The evening will begin with a social at 5:30 p.m., followed by a dinner buffet starting at 6:00 p.m.
During the banquet, the Chamber will recognize Volunteer of the Year, Citizen of the Year, Ambassador of the Year, Outstanding Business of the Year, and induct new members into the Olde Glory Days Hall of Fame. The evening will also include a review of highlights from 2025 and a look ahead to what’s coming in 2026.
Tickets for the Annual Banquet are $25 for Chamber members and $35 for non-members. Tables of eight are available, with a complimentary seat included. Reservations must be made by Thursday, March 19, by calling the Chamber office at 660-885-8166.
Both events are open to Chamber members and guests and provide opportunities to celebrate local businesses, volunteers, and the continued growth of the Clinton community.
