Who We Are
The Fairbury Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary organization of the business community. The chamber is NOT a civic club, charitable organization, or department of the city government. The chamber IS a private, non-profit corporation. In 1919 The Fairbury Booster Club and Commercial Club merged into the Chamber of Commerce.
But most important, the Chamber is people…people just like you, who realize that through the Chamber they can accomplish collectively what no one of them can do alone. The strength of the Chamber lies in attracting the greatest number of members, creating a pool of resources from which can be drawn ideas, energy and finances.
