ABOUT

The council grove area Trade & Tourism association

The Council Grove Area Trade & Tourism Association invites you to join us as we invest in Council Grove, Morris County, and the Flint Hills of Kansas. 

Together, as we pool our resources, we are able to promote Morris County and accomplish projects for the good of the community in a way that would be impossible for individuals.

 

We offer a wide variety of membership options, so we are sure there is one just right for you! If you have any questions, please contact the Association office, Tuesday through Friday 10am-4pm or by email anytime at information@councilgrove.com.

 

Benefits of membership include, but are not limited to: ​

  • Inclusion in the Tourism/Relocation Annual Member Directory

  • Networking

  • Group Advertising and Promotion via Facebook

  • Website Listing

  • Travel Shows

  • Festivals and Special Events designed to attract visitors and shoppers to Morris County

Although a variety of services are available to members, the real benefits come through the continuous development of our community.  An active, well-supported chamber of commerce, like our Association, provides increased income for merchants, farmers, ranchers, and professionals and more job opportunities for our community.  We would love for you to be part of the team!

We welcome you to become a member...

Start Here!

Our Council Grove Area Trade & Tourism Association Membership Guide is your resource for finding the membership option that best suits your individual, business, and community organization's needs.
