The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce invites members and guests to the weekly Chamber Coffee on Thursday, March 23rd at 8am hosted by Big Sugar Lumber at 1005 S. Clark St.  Big Sugar Lumber is celebrating 40 years of business in the community. Coffee, juice, and light refreshments will be served in addition to door prize drawings.

Big Sugar Lumber was started by original business partners Sid Colwell, Ed Graham, Jim Fewins, and Matt Noll in March 1983 in Mound City. They opened a second location in 1984 in Fort Scott and a third store in Garnett in 1988. Today, the Fort Scott store is the sole location owned by Jim Fewins and managed by Daniel Harney. Big Sugar Lumber is proud to have been the hometown source for four decades offering lumber, hardware, paint, windows, and roofing supplies for residential, commercial projects, Stihl and Purina feed products.

Chamber Coffees are held each Thursday at 8am for members to network, make announcements, and learn about the host business or organization.  Contact the Chamber of Commerce at (620) 223-3566 for more information or to inquire about available dates for hosting a Coffee.
