Support Local, Share Local, Strengthen Local
The Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce invites all Mesa County businesses to join us in celebrating the season and promoting the power of shopping local. Our
Keep the Cheer Here campaign makes it easy for you to connect with customers, share your local story, and help keep more dollars right here in the Grand Valley.
The 2025 Keep the Cheer Here campaign runs from November 17, 2025, through January 3rd, 2026. Mesa County businesses of all types are encouraged to participate and help show what happens when we choose to shop, dine, and support local. Together, we can keep holiday spending circulating in our community, supporting jobs, services, and a thriving local economy.
To help your business participate, we have created a marketing toolkit with ready-to-use graphics, templates, and ideas designed to make holiday promotion simple, consistent, and impactful. Use these free materials to show your community pride and remind shoppers that every local purchase makes a difference.
