Please help support the local businesses these are the heart of the community.  Joining the Chamber either as an individual or a commercial member provides money to advertise and promote our area, and helps put on community events like the July 3rd Dance, July 4th Parade and Community Picnic, Cardboard Freighter Races, The Salmon Derby and The WinterFest.  We also support several other events not directly organized by the Chamber, like the Happy Apple Festival, A Village Christmas, Passage Art Fair and several local fishing derbies.  These events bring in tourists and outside visitors along with dollars to spend in our town. 

These visitors may be on a weekend getaway, looking for vacation property, snowmobiling/boating/fishing through, or just out on a leaf color drive.  When we show a close knit business and personal community, people get that tingle that makes them want to come back to DeTour and get away from the downstate hassles.
