Spirit of Boone

We are pleased to invite you to Spirit of Boone, the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Membership Gathering, on Thursday, September 18 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm in the Grandview Ballroom at Appalachian State’s North End Zone Facility.

Spirit of Boone is a tribute to the strong and resilient spirit that has defined our community over the years, a spirit that shows up in full force when it is needed most. As we near one year since Hurricane Helene, this year’s celebration carries an added layer of meaning, honoring the ways our community continues to rise, rebuild, and move forward, together.

Our celebration includes a special tribute to the recipients of the 2025 Boone Area Chamber of Commerce Community Awards. These businesses and community leaders have played a significant role in supporting the growth and prosperity of our community and will be welcomed as our honored guests for the evening.
