A Salute to Business | Veteran-Owned Business Showcase

Tuesday, November 10, 2026 | 3:00–5:00 PM

Elk River American Legion | Elk River, MN

They Served Our Country. Now Let's Support Their Businesses!

Join the Elk River Area Chamber of Commerce for A Salute to Business, a special Veteran-Owned Business Showcase celebrating the men and women who have proudly served our country and are now making an impact as entrepreneurs and business owners in our communities.

These veterans have traded their uniforms for business plans, bringing the same dedication, leadership, determination, and commitment to service into the businesses they own and operate. Now it's our turn to show up for them!

This event is more than a business expo. It's an opportunity to connect, discover, celebrate, and SUPPORT LOCAL!

****Calling All Veteran-Owned Businesses!***

We want to put YOUR business in the spotlight!

Whether you're a longtime business owner, a new entrepreneur, or somewhere in between, this is your opportunity to showcase what you do, connect with potential customers, build relationships with fellow veteran entrepreneurs, and introduce your business to the greater community.

Each participating business will receive a table to display business information, promotional materials, products, or services. You're welcome to bring your own tabletop signage, giveaways, prize drawings, or special promotions to engage visitors.

Business Participation:

• Veteran-Owned Chamber Members: FREE

• Veteran-Owned Non-Members: $20

You do not need to be a Chamber member to participate. We welcome veteran-owned businesses from throughout our Area!

Advance registration is required for participating businesses.

❤️ Community Members, We Want YOU There Too!

You don't have to be a veteran or a business owner to attend. This event is for EVERYONE!

Come discover the incredible veteran-owned businesses right here in our own backyard. Meet the people behind the businesses, learn about their products and services, make new connections, and find meaningful ways to support those who have served.

You might discover your next favorite local business, meet a future business partner, or simply have a great conversation with someone whose story deserves to be heard.

Admission is FREE and open to the public!

Discover. Connect. Support. Celebrate.

As we approach Veterans Day, what better way to honor our veterans than by supporting the businesses they've worked so hard to build?

Bring a friend, invite a fellow business owner, encourage your coworkers, and help us make our first A Salute to Business a celebration of service, entrepreneurship, and community pride.

Because when we support veteran-owned businesses, we strengthen our entire community.

Veteran-Owned. Community-Powered. Let's show them what community support looks like!
