The year of 2020 will never be forgotten; that can be said by everyone. The Lamar County Chamber of Commerce saw firsthand how businesses and business owners struggled to keep their doors open. The fact remains that our local business community are champions. They endured so much and had to change the way everything was done. They continue to feel the strain of what they have gone through, but what champions they are for what they have done.
The sales tax numbers continue to increase in our area, and people are supporting our local economy. The chamber worked closely with businesses during the difficult time, but the people of our community were the ones that stepped up and supported each other.
