Nearly 160 area business professionals and area leaders attended the Cary Grove Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner celebration in January. The event toasted the passion of our volunteers and chamber leaders and highlighted the chamber’s accomplishments for 2012.

During 2012, traffic on the chamber website at www.carygrovechamber.com surpassed 1 million hits, indicating that thousands in the community turn to the chamber for info on local business, events and more – a great benefit to our membership. Our membership continued at over 500 members, steady since 2009. The Cary Farmers Market grew to 23 vendors and continued as a major community asset for residents, receiving rave reviews and attracting shoppers from Barrington, Crystal Lake, Algonquin/LITH and other areas into our community.

In addition, our second Fox River Grove Cruise Night was a season finale success to the summer car shows. And Cary Cruise Night continued to be a local favorite.
