During the year, the Chamber of Commerce is involved in various activities within our community. Our Chamber Banquet is at the end of January, this is when we honor our Citizen of the Year, and we honor our Hospitality Winner. We have a silent auction and give away various door prizes which are donated from our businesses and local chamber members.

At the banquet our City and County officials are recognized. Our outgoing Directors are honored and our Incoming Director's are welcomed. The Chamber Sponsors the State Championship 42 Domino Tournament the first Saturday in March.

The Kolache Fest is our major project of the year. We are very proud to say that we are in our twenty-third year and growing every year. The Kolache Fest benefits the community by bringing over 3,000 people to Hallettsville for the one-day event. Our area organizations participate in this event and this is for some of them, their major fundraisers for the year. We encourage organizations and members to be a part of the Kolache Fest.

Of course the Kolache Fest would not be the success that it is without the great volunteers that we have. The Kolache Fest outgrew the City Park and moved to the Knights of Columbus Hall. We welcome anyone to be a part of our Kolache Fest or any event we sponsor during the year.

In November, the Chamber is in charge of the Market Booths at the Festival Lights. The Lighting of our courthouse is a magnificent event and our community looks forward to attending this event each year. The Chamber is also involved in other events during the year that are sponsored by other organizations. When called upon, we are there to help. This is a brief summary of what the Chamber of Commerce & Agriculture does. We are here to promote Hallettsville, the City of Hospitality. If you have any questions feel free to call or email us.
