🛠️ LABOR DAY WEEKEND: TIME TO CLOCK OUT! 🛠️

The Hayden Chamber office will be CLOSED for Labor Day weekend as we take a little time to rest, recharge, and enjoy the long weekend! ☀️🎉

We’ll be back in the office and ready to get back to WORKING hard for our members on Tuesday, September 8th!

But what exactly is Labor Day? 🤔

Labor Day, celebrated on the first Monday in September, honors the American workforce and the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. 🇺🇸 It’s a day to recognize the people who keep our businesses, communities, and economy moving forward every single day.

So this weekend, let’s celebrate the laborers, leaders, business owners, employees, entrepreneurs, and hardworking folks who make our community so amazing! 👏

Enjoy the extra day, support a local business, soak up some sunshine, and most importantly… don’t work too hard! 😉

Happy Labor Day from the Hayden Chamber of Commerce!

💜💜 PURPLE POWER, HEARTS, & A WHOLE LOT OF HAYDEN CHAMBER LOVE! 💜💜

Yesterday’s Hayden Chamber Ambassador Meeting was on point and we were absolutely tickled purple to spend it at Touching Hearts at Home! 💜

A HUGE thank you to Jeri and her amazing team for opening their doors, providing lunch, and giving our Ambassadors a wonderful space to meet, connect, and learn more about their business.

After our meeting, Jeri gave us an inside look at what Touching Hearts at Home is all about. Their team provides an array of home care services for seniors, individuals living with medical conditions or disabilities, those transitioning from hospital to home, and anyone 18+ who can benefit from the compassionate help of a professional Caregiver. 💜

And then came the eye-opening part! Some of our Ambassadors had the opportunity to participate in a hands-on demonstration designed to give them a small glimpse into what it can feel like to experience dementia. Talk about an experience that makes you stop, think, and appreciate the importance of patience, compassion, and understanding. 💜

✂️ AND WE COULDN’T LEAVE WITHOUT CUTTING A RIBBON! ✂️

Touching Hearts at Home recently moved into their beautiful new space at 8475 N. Government Way, Suite 202 in Hayden, so what better way to celebrate their new location than with a Hayden Chamber Ribbon Cutting?!

We were especially excited to have special dignitaries travel in from out of state just for the occasion! Now THAT is how you make a ribbon cutting feel extra special! 🎉💜

A warm WELCOME TO HAYDEN to Touching Hearts at Home! We are so excited to have you as part of our business community and look forward to watching you grow and make a difference right here in our community. 💜

And a BIG, BIG thank-you to our Hayden Chamber Ambassadors who showed up in FULL FORCE! 🙌 You bring the energy, the smiles, the scissors, and the Chamber spirit to everything we do!

💜 To Jeri and the Touching Hearts at Home team: Thank you for being a member of the Hayden Chamber and for giving us the opportunity to help shine a little purple spotlight on your business and the important work you do!

🎀 Stop by, say hello, check out their beautiful new space, and give them a warm Hayden welcome!

Because when it comes to our members… we’re all HEARTS for supporting local! 💜❤️

NEW DARK CHOCOLATE SNEAK PEEK!

With the success of the Mountain Ruby Huckleberry chocolate bar (Gold medalist for Best Tasting Chocolate Bar in America at the 2026 International Chocolate Salon), we've been asked by several people to offer a 72% dark chocolate version.

At tomorrow's farmers markets in Hayden and Liberty Lake, we'll be sampling the Midnight Mountain Huckleberry.

The huckleberries perfectly balance the bitterness of the dark chocolate and make it absolutely delightful. It won't be out for another week or so...but this is your chance to sample it right now!

Where to find us Saturday 8/29:

Kootenai County Farmers’ Market (Hwy 95@ Prairie, 9AM-1:30PM)

👗✨ We’re FALL-ing in LOVE with cabi! 🍂💃

What a fabulous time we had at last week’s Hayden Chamber Lunch & Learn! Our very own Nichole brought the style, sass and runway magic as she showed off the brand-new Fall cabi collection! 🛍️🍁

We had about 25 fabulous ladies in attendance, some were cabi newbies getting their first sneak peek, while others were seasoned fashionistas who already knew exactly why cabi is such a perfect fit! 😉

And let's just say… things got seriously fashionable when some of our ladies got up to try on the clothes themselves! Because what’s a fashion show without a little hands-on shopping therapy? 👠❤️

So, what exactly is cabi?
cabi is a women’s fashion brand focused on creating stylish, versatile clothing designed to work together, making it easier to build a wardrobe you actually love to wear. Their collections are designed with real women in mind, with pieces that can mix, match and move from casual to polished without missing a beat. ✨

A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us for lunch, learning, laughs and a little fashion fun! And an extra shout-out to those brave enough to step out of their comfort zones and step onto our unofficial runway! 👏👗

Because around here, Lunch & Learn isn’t just about learning… it’s about connecting, trying something new and having FUN while we do it! ❤️

👀 STAY TUNED!
You never know what our next Hayden Chamber Lunch & Learn might have up its sleeve… or should we say in its closet! 😉
