Three Forks Chamber of Commerce

 

The Chamber is working toward a system whereby members choose at the beginning of the year just how much and what they would like to give assistance for, hence the addition of Gold, Silver, and Bronze membership categories.  If you are interested in assisting the Chamber with any of the programs or events, your donation of time and energy would be greatly appreciated.  We are also trying to make it easier for those short on time to contribute to the Chamber and give recognition to those members with the Gold, Silver, and Bronze member status.  Therefore, we are doing a fund drive at the beginning of the year, in hopes of not having to come to our business members every month or two and ask for donations.   


The Chamber sponsors and works on several projects each year to bring the traveling public into our town and promote the services and products that our business members provide.

 

Each year we publish a Three Forks Telephone Book with our Business Members listed on the cover.  Inside this telephone book are telephone numbers for residents as well as businesses in the Three Forks and Willow Creek area.  We have been selling advertising in the phone book to cover the cost of producing it. This year the telephone books will again be for sale in three or four locations.


The Chamber's web site is at: www.threeforksmontana.com.  This site can be a very good tool for all members because their business and telephone number are listed on the site.  If you have a website for your business, you can have the Chamber site link to it from the business directory page.  We have found that many people use the site as a point of reference for finding services when they travel.    If you want to be linked to this site, please let us know.


The Chamber sponsors a Community Tent at the Antique Aircraft Fly-In for people to take a short break and/or visit.The Historical Society has been manning this tent with local information. We have also provided a shuttle bus for the participants to come into town and visit the businesses. 


The Chamber is working hard to attract as many tourists as possible to our town and visit our businesses while they are touring the Lewis & Clark trail. 


Our Visitor Information Center provides local information to the traveling public from Memorial Day through Labor Day.  We have been able to fund the staff wages with a grant from Yellowstone Country.  We are required to provide a telephone year around, insurance, and pay all the additional costs of maintaining the Caboose supplies, etc.  We need each business to provide us with brochures and/or written information that can be handed out to the visitors. We also mail packets of information to people that request information for their vacation travels or for relocation purposes.


Each member business can provide an ad insert for the monthly newsletter if they have a special event coming up or want to advertise.The cost of this is $20.00 plus providing copies of the 8.5"x 11" preprinted insert.
