Sponsorships
As a Non-profit organization we base our funding on sponsorships, we are always looking to add to our list of sponsors. Being a sponsor is a great visual for your business and helps out a great cause!

Sponsorship Opportunities:
The Chamber Connection is a full day networking experience. We gather at 3 different businesses for breakfast, lunch, and happy hour the third Thursday of each month. The purpose of the Chamber Connection is to provide multiple opportunities of networking and promotion for our member businesses. The Chamber Connection events are completely free to members and non-members. Time to speak about your business and ask or give referrals in an effective and formatted way. Bring plenty of business cards to exchange with others!
Hosts provide food/refreshments at their facility or pair with another business member to provide for everyone. Prizes are given away at every stop, with a grand prize for one who comes to all 3 stops!
If you would like to host Chamber Connection in the future, contact the Chamber at 903.729.6066
The Dogwood Festival is the longest running Dogwood Festival in the state of Texas and is held in the charming Historic Downtown and Old Town district of Palestine, Texas. The Festival kicks off the first of three weekends of the Dogwood Celebration with roughly 5,000 in attendance. Locals and guests come to celebrating the season of beautiful Dogwood blooms of East Texas with live music, art, specialty products, food vendors, kids activities and more!
"Everything's Hotter in Texas", and the Hot Pepper Festival is no exception!
The Hot Pepper Festival began roughly 40 years ago when the Palestine Fire Department put on a chili cook-off. It has since grown to be the 'Hottest Little Festival' that brings over 10,000 visitors to Palestine to enjoy the food, music, games, and vendors that the festival offers!
The Annual Hot Pepper Festival parade starts off at 10 AM at the Anderson County Courthouse and makes its way through Mainstreet Historic District.
Enjoy a Pepper Eating Contest, Arts & Crafts Vendors, Pepper Pageant, Unique Food Vendors, Kid’s Zone, Beer Gardens & Live Music all day long.
Christmas at the Chamber! The 1st Saturday of December is always an exciting day. Santa's Workshop happens at Rotary Park in the afternoon, the Annual Holiday Home Tour runs from 4 - 7 PM (tickets available through this site), and Christmas Parade run from 7 - 8:30 pm through Historic Downtown Palestine.
Then it's time for a Holiday Movie in Rotary Park. PJs welcome! Attendees can come early to enjoy hot cocoa and sit back and enjoy the movie.
Sponsor the Hot Cocoa, the logo'd blankets for the first 100 to sit on at the park, the popcorn, or the movie itself.
