PILOT MOUND & DISTRICT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The Pilot Mound and District Chamber of Commerce evolved from a Board of Trade in the 1920's. Most Chambers of Commerce receive grants from municipal bodies to enable them to carry on their work, as fundraising is not their main mandate. However, the Pilot Mound Chamber of Commerce is unique in that instead of receiving grants, it has created a resource pool during the past 40 years well in excess of a quarter of a million dollars.

This has been accomplished by hosting four smorgasbords each year, two in the spring (the last Sunday in April and the first Sunday in May, and the last Sunday in September and the first Sunday in October). Since 1962, with the men of the Chamber and the community acting as servers and cooks, and with great help from all of the community, these dinners have attracted guests from far and wide each year. The profits from these events have enabled the Chamber to achieve an astounding record in the providing of facilities and services in Pilot Mound and the surrounding community.

With impressive financial and other support, the present Chamber of Commerce is fully behind the construction of the Pilot Mound Millennium Recreation Complex, convinced that this beautiful facility will greatly enhance life for all citizens of this community and for a wide surrounding area.

Other notable achievements include an involvement in getting a weather station situated in Pilot Mound in the 1940's that is still present to this very day and can provide up-to-the-minute weather forecasts.
