The Greater Taylorville Chamber of Commerce has a lot to celebrate when it comes to its members.  They have welcomed one new member to the Chamber and are honoring several others for significant milestones.  This all comes as the organization is busy with summer events both for the public and its members alike. 

Benton Engineering is the newest member of the Chamber.  Board President Krystal Baker says the company has a wide presence in Illinois, including an office in Taylorville. 

The Chamber is recognizing several member businesses for their many years in the Taylorville community.  Celebrations this coming week are for Bob Ridings Taylorville and Anderson Jewelers. 

Later, there will also be celebrations for Sydney Lynn’s Little Book Shop and Vinyl (July 26), Taylorville High School’s new athletic facility (July 28), and Florinda’s Pizza (August 1). 

The Chamber of Commerce is also preparing for the Chillifest’s cook-off and pageant happening on August 1.  Interim Operations Coordinator April Wolfe says interested participants can register now for the cook-off. 

The Business After Hours events continue as well, and the community events calendar is packed with other fun happenings available to anyone.
