8am

Iron Star Antiques & Such

3 N. Main St.

The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce invites members and guests to a Chamber Coffee this Thursday, March 13th at 8am hosted by Chamber member Iron Star Antiques & Such. The event will take place at 3 N. Main St. where coffee, juice, and Papa Don’s breakfast pizza and cinnamon rolls will be served. There will also be a drawing for Iron Star gift certificates.

Iron Star offers a wide selection of retail items including home decor, seasonal accessories, repurposed and antique furniture, glassware, greeting cards, candles, jewelry and more. Barbara Trimbur has been doing business in this location since 1996 when she began renting a booth and selling on consignment, then she purchased the business in 2004 and expanded the store to what it is today.

The Coffee for the 13th was originally to be hosted by Briggs of Fort Scott, but they had a conflict with a corporate meeting and will now be hosting March 20th. The Chamber hopes to see everyone at Iron Star this Thursday.

Contact the Chamber of Commerce at (620) 223-3566 for more information. Visit the Events Calendar and category of Chamber Coffees on fortscott.com for upcoming locations.

Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge Tuesday, March 11

Join us for the Public Trade Show!

2024-25

Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge

Tuesday, March 11th

11:30am – 12:45pm

FSHS Aux Gym, 1005 S. Main St.

The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce announces the sixth annual Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge (YEC) in partnership with NetWork Kansas and Fort Scott High School. Forty-four students of the high school Business and Entrepreneurship classes have prepared startup business plans as either individuals or groups and will compete for cash prizes to be judged on Tuesday, March 11th , 2025.

The community is invited to a public tradeshow exhibit from 11:30am to 12:45pm that day to view the creative business plans in support of the students and place a vote for the Community Choice award.

Mrs. Morgan Sage at the high school has incorporated YEC into the business curriculum she teaches. Therefore, the students have been working on their business concepts since last semester including four

components of a business plan, elevator pitch, formal presentation, and a tradeshow exhibit. A judging panel selected by the Chamber and a representative of NetWork Kansas pre-judge the first three

components, and the competition culminates with the public tradeshow.

Cash prizes totaling up to $3,000 will be presented for first, second, and third place overall and the Community Choice award at 1:00pm following the tradeshow after the final scores are tallied.

The Chamber organizes the program in association with the NetWork Kansas E-Community Partnership and Bourbon County is one of many communities across Kansas to host a competition. The local overall winner will advance to the state-wide Kansas Entrepreneurship Challenge to be held April 17 th in Manhattan, which is sponsored by NetWork Kansas, Kansas State University Research & Extension, and Kansas State University for the Advancement of Entrepreneurship.

Contact the Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce for more information at 620-223-3566 or information@fortscott.com.

Care to Share

Cancer Support Group
4Thursday, February 27th

8am

In the NEW Care to Share location!

9 E. Wall St., Fort Scott

The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce invites members and guests to a Chamber Coffee and Ribbon Cutting this Thursday, February 27th at 8am to celebrate the new location of Care to Share Cancer Support Group, The Sharing Bucket, 9 E. Wall St., in the Downtown Historic District. Coffee, juice, and light refreshments will be served along with a door prize drawing.

Care to Share started in 2007 as a grassroots volunteer organization to support cancer survivors, their families, and caregivers. The organization hosts a quarterly cancer support group meeting; however, it serves cancer families daily providing financial and emotional support, meals, and gas vouchers or transportation to and from doctor appointments out of town. Care to Share serves Bourbon, Linn, and Crawford counties in Southeast Kansas.

This week’s Coffee will feature Care to Share’s new location where their office is open weekly Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 11am to 2pm. They now have a gift shop of cancer support items, and the location also features a wig room, a kitchen, and a boardroom. Care to Share is excited to host the community this week and is thankful to have all the on-site amenities to serve cancer patients and survivors in the area.

Contact the Chamber of Commerce at (620) 223-3566 for more information. Visit the Events Calendar and category of Chamber Coffees on fortscott.com for upcoming locations.
