What The Chamber Does
The Rogue River Chamber of Commerce is a volunteer group who work to support local businesses and the community we live in. During the course of the year, the Chamber is proud to be a part of the following events:
- Monthly Greeters Meetings
Hosted each month 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 at 8:00 am. It's a great way to network and meet other business owners.

- National Rooster Crow Weekend
Each June, Rogue River hosts the National Rooster Crow Competition. This weekend-long celebration brings visitors from all over the northwest. Fun, food, and entertainment make this weekend a must-attend for residents and visitors alike.
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, arts and crafts, vendor 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.
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.
- Miss Rogue River Scholarship Pageant
Each June the Chamber sponsors the Miss Rogue River Scholarship Pageant. This event helps young women develop their leadership, presentation, and performance skills in a confidence-building environment. It also lands the 1st place winner $1000, 1st runner up $500, and the 2nd runner up $250 in scholarship funds that the winners may use at the University or school of their choice.
- Christmas Lights and Tree Lighting Ceremony
December brings Christmas and with it the community's lights and decorations. The Chamber prepares the lights and works with the great people at Pacific Power to get our decorations up and bring our giant Sequoia to life with the joy and splendor of the holiday season. We also coordinate the Tree Lighting Ceremony downtown in early December to help get the community together for the holidays.
