The Greater Taylorville Chamber of Commerce stands to connect business with the community, offering themselves as familiar faces to new and upcoming establishments in the area. The GTCC also continues work with existing businesses through after hours, marketing and sponsorships. Coming up soon will be the 11th Annual Scholarship Awareness Day in conjunction with Taylorville High School. Nearly 25 scholarships will be made available to high school students from generous community members and businesses amongst others. Shannon Culberson, has established the Tanner James Mitchell Electrical Worker Apprenticeship Scholarship, in honor of her late brother. Culberson is proud of the work her and her family have done to provide this scholarship.

On January 22nd,  starting at 10:30 a.m., the GTCC will be holding a ribbon cutting for one of their newest members, Connor Metcalfe.

With Taylorville situated as the Chili Capital of Illinois, it only makes sense to provide another opportunity outside of Chillifest, for residents to enjoy the warm meal. The GTCC will host the new Chillifest Half Time Hustle Fundraiser. The event will be hosted on February 6th from 4 to 7 p.m..
