The purpose of the Chamber of Commerce has changed drastically since it was organized here 94 years ago. The original intent was to educate the progressive farmers in the area, among other things. The Tri-State Fair was an event the Chamber put on each year that drew thousands of people into the city. The name of the fair was eventually changed to the Tri State Watermelon Festival, and in 1939 it drew a crowd of more than 15,000 from the three-states area.
