Shawano Country Chamber Calendar Lists Menominee Events Including 100-Year Banquet Feb. 26

The Shawano Country Chamber of Commerce will celebrate its 100-year anniversary with a formal black-tie banquet on Thursday, Feb. 26, 2026, scheduled from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM and listed for the Menominee Casino Resort. The chamber's event announcement says, "The Shawano Country Chamber of Commerce will be celebrating their 100 year anniversary!

Doors open with a social hour at 5PM, followed by a buffet dinner at 6PM that lists Beef Tips, Baked Cod, Rice Pilaf, Vegetables, Salad and Dessert. The program calls for an "Award Presentation: 7PM," and the evening will include "Champagne, Raffles, Live Auction & More" before music from Wine on Fridays from "8-10PM by: Wine on Fridays." The chamber listing also instructs attendees: "Please click on this link for registration information. Registration must be completed by Thursday, February 12 to secure your spot!"

The chamber calendar shows several community events clustered through March and into the summer that may interest Menominee County audiences. On Friday, Feb. 27 the Winter Farmers' Market runs from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM; the listing provides date and time but does not specify a venue in the excerpted announcement. Saturday, March 14 is a heavy day on the calendar: Cabin Fever Craft Fair runs 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM as an indoor event at the Shawano Civic Center, featuring "All handmade items," with "Free admission" and a request to "Bring a non-perishable food item for a local pantry."

That same March 14 weekend includes downtown retail programming: Spring BreakOUT takes place in Shawano Downtown from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM with copy noting "BreakOut of the house, Beat the Winter Blues, Shop Downtown Shawano" and the listing even includes the verbatim line "Spring Break attire is encourages." Also on March 14 the calendar lists a St. Patrick's Day Celebration from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM; the chamber excerpt provides hours but does not include a specific location in the provided text.

Looking ahead, the chamber lists recurring and seasonal offerings that affect local schedules. The Naberhood Block Party appears on Tuesday, June 2 at 6:00 PM and is described broadly as "The Naberhood Block Party - FREE Family Events every Tuesday at 6pm. Featured Event: Family Game Night. Proudly sponsored by Shawano Country Tourism and City of Shawano." The chamber's Coffee Connection continues as a monthly networking slot "every first Wednesday of the month"; a June 3, 2026 entry shows hours of 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM and adds, "Locations change, watch our Facebook page for details."

Regional civic scheduling appears alongside the chamber calendar. Shawano County Economic Progress, Inc. posts that SCEPI board meetings for 2026 carry a general start time of 8:00 AM, while the next SCEPI Board of Directors meeting is listed for 8:30 AM on Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026, at the Shawano Country Chamber of Commerce conference room.
