The Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce hosts an annual Father-Daughter dance- a special evening dedicated to creating lasting memories!
This cherished event offers a fun, family-friendly atmosphere filled with music, dancing, and sweet moments to remember. Dads, grandfathers, uncles, and honorary dads with a special lady/ladies (ages 3 to 12) in their lives are invited to hit the dance floor and enjoy a magical night.
The event starts with a Grand March, where each couple is recognized. After the Grand March concludes, we ask that the "daddies" be given the time to enjoy the rest of the evening with their dates.
The Father-Daughter Dance is more than just an evening of fun-it's a community tradition that brings families together while supporting the mission of the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce to strengthen local connections and support community growth.
We look forward to welcoming families from across the area to a night of smiles, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

The Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce has proudly hosted an annual food drive since 2011 to support our local Grundy County Food Pantry. All donations collected go directly to help individuals and families in our community.
By holding the food drive during the summer months, the Chamber helps fill an important gap when pantry shelves may be running low. While donations often increase around Thanksgiving and Christmas, the need continues year-round, and this drive helps ensure support is available when it's needed most.
This event would not be possible without the dedication of our Chamber Ambassadors and Board Members, who generously volunteer their time and even their vehicles to accept donations through the drive. We are truly grateful for the continued commitment and service to our community.
Thank you to everyone who donates and helps make a difference through the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce Food Drive.
Community Clean-Up Week is a time set aside each spring to come together and take pride in our community. Residents, businesses, and organizations are encouraged to pitch in by picking up trash and disposing of it properly throughout Trenton.
Homeowners can help by cleaning up areas around their homes, while Chamber Ambassadors and Board Members will work together to clean 9th Street from Southern Bank to Highway 65. Community Clean-Up Week is also a great opportunity for schools, youth groups, civic organizations, church groups, clubs, and service organizations to earn service hours while giving back.
The 2026 Community Clean-Up Week will take place May 4 through May 8, 2026.
Ambassadors and Board Members will be participating on Tuesday, May 5. 2026.
Thank you to everyone who helps keep our community clean and welcoming. Pitch in this year and help make Trenton shine!
