The area Chambers of Commerce Mega Mixer held at the Diamond Stadium, home to the Lake Elsinore Storm minor league baseball team, brought together the largest number of chambers and area businesses Thursday, Jan. 18, according to host Patrick Ellis of the Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber.
Ellis was there the greet the hundreds of chamber members and businesses from as far away as Riverside and San Bernardino, many who displayed their available goods and information about their businesses and mingled with other chamber members that conduct business throughout Riverside County.
Ellis said the first Mega Mixer of 2024 perhaps had more vendors and visitors than ever before with 130 vendors and Chambers of Commerce including Murrieta/Wildomar, Menifee, Temecula, Moreno Valley, Canyon Lake, Lake Elsinore, Riverside, Corona and three others.
The crowds attending at times were almost shoulder to shoulder on the Storm Clubhouse floor at Diamond Stadium. Local fast food and delicacy businesses handed out samples of their menu items, business consulting firms and bank representatives talked about their financial offerings. Hospitals and urgent cares were on hand to inform about their medical services, nonprofits like MilVet and Birth Choice gave out information on their causes. Also on hand were limousine companies showing off their vehicles, moving companies, pet groups and many other businesses and educational facilities all with something to offer in their communities.
Seen among the crowd were many city officials and elected state representatives like Sen. Kelly Seyarto who greeted visitors.
Ellis said there will be another Mega Mixer held this spring at Mt. San Jacinto College’s Temecula Campus with a date yet to be announced.
