"Can you recommend a good Ventriloquist?"

"I need a ride to Texas. Do you know anybody going to Texas?"



"Do you know anybody who wants to buy a rusty hay crimper?"



"Where in Chico can I buys pants that have a crease that won't fall out?"



Uh.....What?

Seriously. These are some of the questions we've been asked over the years at the Chamber office. NO KIDDING! We've kept a list of the funny questions people phone in. It's hysterical!



What this really tells me though is there is a lot of confusion about what the Chamber of Commerce really does. So in case you don't know...here goes!

The Chamber is the collective voice of business in the community. We advocate on behalf of the business community at the City, County and State level. We're watching your back when it comes to business issues.

We share business news. We give members an opportunity to promote their own business. We plan events as networking opportunities. We offer training. And now....we BLOG!

It is somewhat challenging to lists all the things we do, but to sum it all up, we're here to help. If you have a particular need, and don't see it listed above (0ther than selling a hay crimper or renting a camel) give us a call. We'll help find a solution for you.

And to answer just two of the funky questions we've received over the years.....Robert E. Lee's Birthday is January 19, 1807, and NO, the Chico Airshow will not be at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds. Hope that helps!

  1. Do you know who currently has the "Key to Chico"? I hear Alice may have the answer.
