What The Chamber Does

• Quarterly Greeters Meetings
  Hosted each quarter by a different local business, the Chamber Greeters Meetings are a great way for the Chamber businesses and other members of the community to get together and share information about our businesses and about the events that concern all of us. Always informative and fun, we look forward to seeing new faces at the Greeters which are held the third Thursday of each month.   For a schedule of upcoming Greeters Meetings, click here.

• National Rooster Crow Weekend
  Each June, Rogue River hosts the National Rooster Crow Competition. The Chamber of Commerce, City of Rogue River and Rogue River Kiwanis host this weekend-long celebration which brings visitors from all over the northwest. Fun, food, and entertainment make this weekend a must-attend for residents and visitors alike.   If you would like more information regarding booth space, placing an ad in the Rooster Crow booklet or general information, please call us at (541) 582-0242.  We will be happy to assist.
  
  In addition to the actual Crowing Competition (yes, over fifty roosters actually do line up and compete to see who can crow the most times in a 30-minute competition), there is a large parade, free entertainment for children, food booths, the "Human Crow" competition, and live bands. On Sunday we host the increasingly popular Rooster Crow Car Show  which has become a fantastic addition to this fun weekend.  Car Clubs are Welcome! 
  
  The National Rooster Crow Championship is annually held the last Saturday in June. To see the date for this year's Rooster Crow Championship, please see our Calendar of Events.
