“The general objects and purposes of this incorporation are to facilitate the buying and selling of all products, to inculcate principles of justice and equity in trade, to facilitate speedy adjustments of business disputes, to acquire and disseminate usable commercial information in the furtherance of their legitimate business pursuits and to advance the general prosperity and business interests of the City of Fergus Falls.”
Along with the desire to help businesses grow, the Fergus Falls Chamber has worked diligently to grow the community as a whole for the past 135 years. Everyone is invited to stop by the Fergus Falls Chamber office at 202 South Court Street on Wednesday, August 11th from Noon until 2pm for an Open House Celebration with refreshments.
