History of the Chamber of Commerce

Although early records cannot be found to substantiate an exact date, it is thought that the LeRoy Area Chamber of Commerce was organized during the early 1950s. Its multi-purposes were to promote a healthy business climate for local merchants, foster greater participation of residents at sponsored activities, expose the local businesses to the economics and activities promoted by surrounding communities. Early Chamber meetings were dinners held at the LeRoy school cafeteria. At first, these meals were served by local church groups, but later they became pot lucks. Early Chamber activities included a yearly Mayor Exchange Day with nearby towns of similar sizes to exchange ideas, information and solutions on various issues and participating in Razzasque Days the second weekend in July, which was revived as a yearly town celebration in 1973. Over the years, the Chamber as been involved in numerous events and promotion of activities community-wide to support and improve the business environment for the LeRoy area.
