When people feel connected to their community, everything changes. They shop local. They engage more. They take ownership of their town’s future. And that sense of belonging is exactly what turns visitors into fans, newcomers into neighbors, and small businesses into cornerstones.

At the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce, we see civic pride in action every day. It shows up at our Cody Club luncheons, where business owners, community leaders, and residents gather not just to network, but to connect. It shows up during the Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale, where artists and patrons celebrate the West in one of Cody’s signature events. It shows up when we cut the ribbon for a new business or cheer a milestone for a local nonprofit. These moments may seem small, but they build something big: a stronger, more unified Cody.

Civic pride isn’t something we inherit, it’s something we build.

Special events and local activities are more than calendar fillers, they’re economic engines. When you attend an event, you’re likely to grab a bite from a local restaurant, visit a nearby shop, or discover a new service. The dollars stay here. The momentum builds. The connections deepen.

And those connections are powerful. When residents feel proud of their community, they become advocates. They tell friends to visit. They encourage entrepreneurs to invest. They support businesses not just because of what they sell, but because of what they represent: commitment, grit, and community.

Civic pride isn’t something we inherit, it’s something we build. One event, one handshake, one moment at a time.

So, how can you take part?

  • Attend a local event or Chamber gathering.
  • Share a kind word about a local business online.
  • Volunteer for a nonprofit you believe in.
  • Say hello to a neighbor.

When you show up for Cody, you help shape its future.

Let’s keep building it, together, with pride.
