PROGRAMS AND EVENTS

Southwest Community Leadership

Meeting once per month for 9 months, this program challenges and develops participants’ leadership skills through dedicated programs that focus on community involvement, ethics and team-building, while providing participants with a greater knowledge of the history of our community.

Students of the SWCL program will learn from other community leaders and their processes. This group applies the skills they have to a group project that will be shared in the community. Each class works to select a community service project and together they ensure the successful completion of the project.

Programs And Events

Farmers’ Market

The multi award winning GCACC Farmers’ Market runs from mid May through Mid September each year. The Market is well respected and well shopped because of its large variety of fresh fruit, vegetables, beef, poultry, pork and sometimes - even bison! Baked goods, sauces, fresh flowers and plants and endless other fresh wonders and in great supply all summer. Nestled in Grove City’s quaint Historic Town Center, people come from all over central Ohio to enjoy the Market and the local merchants. We excitedly await the mid summer Chef Challenges and the very highly anticipated Chiefs Challenge!

A Taste of Grove City

A Taste of Grove City is a long-standing event offered by the GCACC and this year we are taking a minute to redesign, remodel and take this fun event to the next level.... keep your eyes peeled for announcements for the new A Taste of Grove City!

Chamber Open

How do Grove City business leaders show their appreciation to their employees, vendors and customers-of course, with a day on the links! Sure, it’s a great networking opportunity but don’t loose sight of the fact that it’s a competition too. Whether you’re a regular on the course or your more accustomed to mini-golf, this event is for you. Prizes, traveling trophies, delicious food, your favorite beverage carts and some pretty incredible auction items await you at this year’s Chamber Open.

Boo Off Broadway

The Chambers’ newest event is the spookiest family fun you’ll ever have. Little ghosts and goblins - and big ones too - come out in full to collect candy and goodies from local businesses, to see superheroes and princesses and to grab cotton candy and a hot dog, visit with real firefights, paramedics and police officers, and play some fun yard games. The Ghostbusters and their famous Ectomobile are there to lead the costume parade and take pictures with excited little visitors. Parents get to mingle with local businesses and get goodies and participate in spooky activities with their kiddos. It was a spooky fun day for everyone!
