Thank you to everyone who attended our November Business Mixer! We had over 50 local business owners and community leaders in attendance. Special thanks to Main Street Cafe for hosting and providing delicious appetizers. It was a wonderful evening of networking and collaboration. Congratulations to Sarah Jenkins from Desert Rose Boutique for winning the door prize!

Following our annual elections, the Wink Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the appointment of three new board members: Michael Brown (Wink Oil & Gas), Linda Garcia (Winkler County State Bank), and David Wilson (West Texas Motors). They bring a wealth of experience and a shared passion for our community. We look forward to their leadership in the coming year. We also want to extend our gratitude to our outgoing board members for their dedicated service.

We are proud to announce the recipients of the 2025 Small Business Development Grant. This year, we awarded a total of $15,000 to three promising local businesses: The Daily Grind Coffee Shop, Wink Tech Solutions, and Lone Star Landscaping. These grants will support equipment purchases and marketing efforts. The Chamber is committed to fostering entrepreneurship and economic vitality in Wink.

What a fantastic weekend! The 2025 Wink Summer Festival drew record crowds from across the county. From the live music and food vendors to the classic car show and kids' zone, there was something for everyone. We want to thank our sponsors, volunteers, and the City of Wink for making this event possible. Proceeds from the festival will go towards downtown beautification projects.

Congratulations to our 2025 Chamber of Commerce Scholarship recipients: Emily White and Jacob Martinez. Both students have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement and community service. Emily plans to study Business Administration at Texas Tech, and Jacob will be attending Odessa College for Welding Technology. We wish them both the best of luck in their future endeavors.
