The Raytown Chamber provides a number of opportunities for members to network, market their business, socialize and learn.

Annual Chamber Celebration

The Chamber’s new year begins in early winter with an annual celebration. Retiring officers are honored and new leaders introduced at this elegant celebration of the new year. The Chamber’s annual awards are given out at this event including Business of the Year, Small Business of the Year, Chamber Person of the Year, and Volunteer of the Year.

Raytown Night at the Mavericks

Again in 2012, the Chamber will sponsor a night during the 3rd season of the Missouri Mavericks. Pro Hockey is back in the Midwest and we hope the community comes out and supports this event.

Raytown Night at the Royals

What an amazing community event for over 20 years! The Chamber sponsors this special night – the largest Kansas City Royals baseball community night in the metropolitan area. Members and their families and employees come out to enjoy this great American pastime.

Legislative Meet & Greet

In 2012, Chamber members have an opportunity to meet with their Mayor and Board of Aldermen at the annual State    of the City Luncheon which is held in February.  The State of the School District  is presented in September by Dr. Allan Markley, Superintendant of Schools and an update from County Executive Mike Sanders normally happens in November.  All three of these luncheons are a great way to meet your local elected officials as well.

Raytown Summerfest

Raytown SummerFest is a two-day event   featuring live entertainment, a carnival, over 75 vendors, and a Kansas City Barbeque Society-sanctioned event. Held in June, the BBQ Cookoff is a qualifying contest for the nationally known American Royal Barbeque Cookoff and other national events. Hundreds of cooks, volunteers, judges, and staff host one of the largest barbeque contests in the area. Open to the public and with entertainment for the entire family, SummerFest is the largest community event – made possible by Chamber volunteers and sponsors.  Look for the event to be even bigger and better in 2012!

Golf Tournament

The Chamber is proud to sponsor a golf tournament each year. Members and their guests enjoy a day of fun, prizes, team competition, food and networking.  Several years ago, the Chamber partnered with the Raytown Rotary Club to combine efforts to provide a quality event to its participants.
