Come to Taste of Evergreen!

For the sixth year in a row, the Evergreen Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to host The Taste of Evergreen. The party will be held Friday May 11th, from 5-8pm, at the Evergreen Lake House. We will have food samplings from some of our area’s best restaurants and caterers, plus music from Sound Mountain Entertainment! Last year we had a sellout crowd of over 300 people. We have a free shuttle from Christ the King Church to the Lake House starting at 5pm.

Who will win our annual Chamber One Bite Challenge? Food vendors will bring a set of single “bites” of food for people to try and vote on as the Best Bite of the Taste. You taste, you enjoy, you be the judge! Last year our winners were 1st place Lariat Lodge Brewing Company, 2nd place MacNation Café and 3rd place went to Blackbird Café and Tavern. We also had a Best Sip of the Taste that went to El Rancho Brewing Company. Curious which restaurants, breweries and wineries are participating? Visit our website for the full list, gather your friends and join us!

New this year is a beer and wine garden with an exclusive VIP Sip Tasting Happy Hour that runs from 4:30 to 5:30, limited tickets available on our website. All tickets can be purchased online for $25 per person. At-the-Door prices will be $35 each. Ticket price includes entry, 2 drinks, appetizers, for $5 a chance, the opportunity to win great raffle prizes. Proceeds from the raffle go to support the Evergreen Chamber College Scholarship Fund. Each year we give out 4 awards to students going on to study business.

The Taste of Evergreen event does sell out so advance purchase is recommended.

You can purchase tickets online at www.Evergreenchamber.org or by calling 303-674-3412.

New Chamber Website Launch!

Later this month we are launching a new and

improved Chamber website. It is cleaner, easier to

navigate and has improved SEO capabilities. Our

goal is to bring increased value and visibility to

our members. Key to the Chamber’s mission is to

grow the local economy. The way that can happen

is for more potential customers to discover local

companies with which to do business=YOU.

Watch the weekly blast to know when it goes live

and let us know what you think.

Chamber ROI Growth Strategy

On March 28th we launched a new effort to increase ROI

for the Chamber and it’s members. By staying true to our

mission statement (strategy) we are using the existing

communication tools we have in a different way. Our

first Facebook live video that explains what we are doing

has reached almost 3800 people so far! Our highest

performing post prior to that was less than 1000. Our

followers have gone up 20% in three weeks. Our online

engagement has gone up. Please make sure you visit our

Chamber Facebook page, like and watch we are doing.

Our goal is to increase visibility for all of you which

translates into more potential customers seeing what

you have to offer. We will show what we are doing and

tell you how you can follow our lead in growing your

audience, your ROI.

We have been in business since December of 2015.

We have recently opened our new retail location in La Jolla, California. We have also launched our new pet line, Endopet!

We have been able to serve an entirely new community of people in California with our products as well as knowledgeable staff to answer questions regarding CBD. Endopet has been a great addition! We now offer a tincture for small, medium and large breed dogs and cats as well as a special hip and joint formulation that comes as a chewable tablet.

We host a Wellness Wednesday event every other Wednesday where people of all ages and even pets can come explore and sample CBD, ask questions, win prizes and enjoy refreshments.
