Funds raised at Pour In the Park will be used for the Stateline Chamber's goal of stimulating growth through regional business development and community stewardship.

Year round the Stateline Chamber offers a diverse level of community and networking events, educational opportunities, professional resources and advocacy to their members.

Last year alone the Stateline Chamber hosted ribbon cuttings to celebrate new businesses coming to the area, a golf play day, Lunch and Learns, the Influential Women in Business Luncheon, a casino night, and the final Stateline Business Expo.

The Chamber organized a purse project event, collecting over 150 purses with toiletries, gift cards, and other useful items which became Mother's Day gifts through the DEFY- Domestic Abuse Beloit. John Broda and Lea Evers spearheaded this awesome event.

Stateline Chamber of Commerce Vice President Ryan Rydell said, “We hope that Pour In the Park becomes a staple destination event that brings more people to the Stateline area, while also showcasing the beautiful parks, entertainment, and people that make up our small community.”
