NKCC, Northern Kane County Chamber of Commerce, is a regional chamber serving the communities of Carpentersville, East Dundee, Gilberts, Sleepy Hollow and West Dundee. Having worked for the chamber for the past 13 years, I have witnessed the business landscape has change significantly. Online shopping, social media engagement and other web-based interactions have deprived us of the personal relationships and dedicated attention that used to accompany our business transactions. In the midst of these changes, chambers have struggled to find relevance, competing with busy schedules and a myriad of networking opportunities and choices. Some question whether chambers are relevant or necessary today. Here is my answer.
MELISSA HERNANDEZ PRESIDENT Northern Kane County Chamber of Commerce
Chambers offer the business community a place to come together and share ideas, make new connections and expand their contact base. Networking opportunities are offered in a variety of formats and at a variety of times to suit varying schedules. In addition, chambers offer educational seminars and professional development on relevant topics such as marketing, finance, social media and tools to help the small business owner with limited resources succeed. In addition to educational and networking opportunities, chambers offer access and advocacy with local government. The NKCC works closely with Carpentersville, East Dundee, Gilberts, Sleepy Hollow and West Dundee through community events and other local initiatives to promote shopping local businesses. Rise and Shine events were designed for businesses to have access to village leaders to address questions and concerns. They are hosted on a rotating schedule throughout the year at each participating municipality. Our chamber’s board of directors, representing a wide range of businesses in our community, work hard to make sure the chamber stays relevant, accessible and progressive. Their commitment and dedication has helped NKCC to be viable and dynamic for more than 40 years. Strong businesses make strong communities. The chamber understands that. We work with area service organizations and clubs to clean up our community and make it a better place to live. The NKCC participates in local food drives, local Habitat for Humanity projects, the local Rotary clubs, and the Boys and Girls Club of Dundee Township to name a few. We truly believe that when we all work together, we all win by making the Northern Kane County region a wonderful place to live, shop and do business!

OCTOBER
HALLOWEEN IN THE HOLLOW There aren’t many events where you get to see the famed “Headless Horseman” from Washington Irving’s classic tale, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” But ever since the early 1970s, Sleepy Hollow has taken its name to heart once a year for a big Halloween event at Sabatino Park. The build-up for this event actually starts a month in advance when the Village opens up the park so that residents can pile up their branches and other yard waste into a huge pile (which becomes a bonfire at the fest). The evening’s festivities, which start at 3 p.m. with a chili contest, include food sales, a costume parade and contest, pumpkin carving and hayrides. The day culminates with the lighting of the huge bonfire at 6 p.m. and the appearance of the “headless horseman” riding in on a majestic horse, to the delight of the large crowd. The fest is sponsored by the Sleepy Hollow Service Club of Illinois. For more information, visit www. shsc-il.org.
OCTOBER
GILBERTS FALL BONFIRE This year’s bonfire falls in October and will be held in the afternoon at Memorial Park. Besides sitting around the fire to help keep warm, DJ Rudy K will be providing entertainment which will include music and games. Keeping in tradition, horse drawn wagon rides will be available around the pond. Pumpkins will be on hand for decorating, and snacks and juice will be provided.
DECEMBER
DICKENS IN DUNDEE In the tradition of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” historic downtown Dundee lights up during the first weekend in December for a Victorian Christmas celebration with small town ambiance. Friday night festivities include tree lighting ceremonies in both East and West Dundee, hot cocoa, and an opportunity to meet with Santa. Create memories as you view live portrayals of Christmas scenes in merchant storefronts along Main and River streets during Living Windows. The “Spirit of Christmas” parade on Saturday morning features community organizations, businesses and performance groups, and of course, Santa Claus himself. Make a day of it and enjoy a variety of activities for all ages, including the opportunity to decorate your own gingerbread house, kids’ craft activities, craft and bake sales, carriage rides, a gallery of Christmas trees and more!
