As we step into February, I’m happy to share that we kicked off the month with a fantastic Chamber Breakfast at Hobe Sound Bible College. It was our first time gathering there since before COVID, and it truly felt like coming home again. The staff and faculty welcomed us warmly, just as we remembered. And of course, many of us were thrilled to finally enjoy their famous scones once again — we certainly missed those.
Although I’m writing this message before our monthly Business Afterhours, I always look forward to the Festival of the Arts Unveiling event, by the time you read this, we’ll have already shared that special moment when the new festival artwork is revealed for the very first time. The unveiling is always exciting — it sets the tone for the entire event and ignites the energy that leads us into festival weekend. I have no doubt this year’s artwork will inspire us all.
This month also brings renewed excitement as we celebrate the 25th Annual Hobe Sound Festival of the Arts. This cherished event brings thousands of residents, visitors, and art lovers to S.E. Dixie Highway each year, transforming Hobe Sound into a vibrant outdoor gallery filled with talent, creativity, and community spirit. The Festival continues to be one of the most anticipated weekends of the year, and we are proud to support an event that showcases both our local culture and our local businesses so beautifully.
As always, thank you to our members, volunteers, sponsors, and partners who make these gatherings and celebrations possible. Your continued support allows our Chamber to thrive and to serve the businesses and residents that make Hobe Sound such a remarkable place.
Wishing everyone a wonderful February, and I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!
