The latest edition of Above 6000’, the Tahoe Chamber’s digital publication, celebrates the people and partnerships that make our community thrive—and there’s no better example than the success of our 2025 Go Local Business Expo.
Held at the Tahoe Blue Event Center, this year’s Expo broke attendance records, featured over 100 vendors, and brought together thousands of residents and business owners to celebrate local innovation and connection. But behind the scenes, it was a labor of love, led by a team of passionate professionals dedicated to making it all happen.
💙 A Message of Gratitude from Our CEO
Tahoe Chamber CEO Cristi Creegan shared a heartfelt reflection in this issue, offering a special thank-you to the entire Chamber team for their work on the event:
“As I reflect on our recent Business Expo, I’m filled with so much pride and gratitude for the team that made this event a stunning success. Working alongside such dedicated professionals has been both humbling and inspiring.”
From Jessica’s expert vendor coordination and floor plan design, to Kristin’s marketing magic that brought record foot traffic, to Brandi’s standout production and media coverage, every element was executed with precision and creativity. Our Chamber Board members even took the mic to emcee the evening, adding a personal touch that brought the whole event together.
“What moved me most was watching the team during the event itself,” Cristi added. “Despite long hours and inevitable challenges, everyone maintained warmth and enthusiasm.”
🤝 Lasting Community Impact
Feedback from the business community has been overwhelmingly positive—vendors made new connections, hired new employees, and walked away with a renewed sense of optimism. As Cristi notes:
“Our community partners have called this ‘the most well-organized expo in years.’ These accomplishments belong to each person who had a role in this success.”
The Expo is more than just an annual event—it’s a catalyst for growth, collaboration, and community pride. It opens doors for small businesses and helps shape the economic vitality of South Lake Tahoe.
