The Elsberry Chamber of Commerce strives to enhance and improve the economic health and quality of life in our community.  To achieve our objectives and goals, the Chamber of Commerce has developed a five point Mission Statement:

• Influence residents to first look within our community for goods, services, and entertainment;
• Attract consumers from throughout the region and promote Elsberry as a mercantile and entertainment center for the region;
• Promote a community environment which attracts new business, employment, and residential opportunities;
• Work with, and for, our Chamber members to attain their goals, and establish active working relationships with private and public entities;
• Establish strategic alliances with our neighboring communities to enhance the quality of life for all citizens in the area.

ALL RURAL Elsberry precinct voters are to vote at the Senior Citizens Building located at 5th and Broadway. Persons residing in the city limits will continue voting at City Hall.

JECBA Fall Festival and Parade
The High School Fall Festival (sponsored by JECBA) is scheduled for Saturday, November 3rd beginning with a 2pm parade.

The gym is under renovation and the JECBA kids are also working around the marching band schedule therefore the change of date and time. Games, Chili Supper and Coronation will be held at school.

In view of today’s business and technological climate, Elsberry provides an attractive alternative for business operations as compared to a more urban environment.  Recent -- and on-going -- real estate developments provide residents with a number of housing styles, in attractive locations, and all at remarkably affordable prices

Elsberry enjoys a number of features which make it an enviable place to live and work:

• highly rated schools,
• beautiful landscapes,
• a clean and safe environment,
• good highway and rail access,
• superb nearby recreational facilities, and
• a positive public attitude.

Over 25 years ago a lovely group of ladies funded the purchase of an abundance of holiday décor for all to enjoy. These decorations are in in the process of being replaced.

In June, the Elsberry Senior Citizens, JECBA and the Chamber voted on three new styles of white light pole pieces to line Hwy. 79. The Star of Bethlehem, Deluxe Snowflakes and Festive Christmas trees will lend a festive air. Eighteen new pieces have been purchased and gifted to the City of Elsberry. They are in storage awaiting the November 2007 debut installment.

When enough additional funds are raised, the secondary purchase will be made in order to decorate Broadway. Many thanks to one and all who have contributed through the Annual Classics on Wheels car show and through private donations. We are working together to make Elsberry a fun place to visit and a great place to live.

Donations are still being accepted through the Bank of Lincoln County.

Elsberry has nearby nature areas developed and monitored by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources which are ideal spots for bird watching and other outdoor recreation.
