Strengthening Regional Connections: Hampshire County Chamber Attends Hardy County’s 2026 Annual Gala
Celebrating local businesses, community leadership, and the value of strong relationships between neighboring Chambers of Commerce.
On Wednesday, October 7, 2026, representatives of the Hampshire County Chamber of Commerce (HCCC) had the pleasure of attending the Hardy County Chamber of Commerce’s 2026 Annual Gala: Where the Mountains Meet, held in Fisher, West Virginia.
Representing Hampshire County were Executive Director Jackie Graybill, Chamber President Statton Clark, and Board Member Jenna Gelow, who joined business owners, community leaders, and fellow Chamber representatives for an evening dedicated to celebrating the people and organizations helping their communities thrive.
An Evening of Celebration and Connection
The Hardy County Chamber of Commerce brought together its business community for an evening filled with networking, recognition, and celebration.
Under the theme Where the Mountains Meet, the annual gala featured opportunities for guests to connect during a networking reception, a silent auction featuring local treasures, dinner catered by South Branch Smokehouse, live music, and an awards ceremony recognizing outstanding businesses and community champions.
Beyond the evening's festivities, the event served as a reminder of the importance of bringing people together to recognize achievements, exchange ideas, and strengthen professional relationships.
Building Relationships Beyond County Lines
While each Chamber of Commerce serves its own local businesses and community, the opportunities for collaboration extend well beyond county boundaries.
For the Hampshire County Chamber of Commerce, attending events hosted by neighboring Chambers is an important opportunity to build relationships, learn from one another, and encourage regional connections.
Businesses throughout Hampshire, Hardy, and the surrounding counties contribute to a shared regional economy. By maintaining strong relationships with neighboring organizations, we can continue discovering opportunities to support local entrepreneurship, promote economic growth, and connect the people and resources that help our communities succeed.
When neighboring communities work together, we create opportunities that benefit the entire region.
