Open House 1pm to 3pm
Formal remarks and Chamber Ribbon Cutting will take place at 1:30pm.

Join the Fenton Chamber as we celebrate the Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening of the newly remodeled Emerson Dental office in High Ridge, hosted by Compass Health Network! This transformed dental clinic was thoughtfully redesigned to expand access to care and better serve the High Ridge community with a welcoming, updated space for patients and families. Come connect with fellow Chamber members, meet the team, and help us celebrate this exciting milestone and continued investment in community healthcare.

Ribbon cuttings are a meaningful and celebratory way the Fenton Chamber supports local businesses. By promoting Chamber members and encouraging the community to shop and do business locally, we help drive growth and keep the Fenton area vibrant and strong.

The St. Paul Parish, located in Fenton, MO, at the corner of Highway 141 and Highway 30 (Gravois Rd) is one of the most anticipated community events of the year, bringing together families, friends, and neighbors from across Fenton and the surrounding area. Held annually over Memorial Day weekend, this long-standing tradition has been a cornerstone of the parish for decades, offering a welcoming space for people of all ages to come together, celebrate, and support St. Paul Church and School.

More than just an event, the St. Paul Parish Picnic is a true kickoff to summer. Thousands of attendees gather each year to enjoy a full weekend of activities, entertainment, and great food. From the moment the picnic begins, the grounds are filled with energy, laughter, and the unmistakable feeling of community.

One of the biggest draws of the Parish Picnic is the carnival experience. With rides and games running throughout the weekend, there is no shortage of excitement for kids, teens, and even adults looking to relive a bit of nostalgia. Whether it’s spinning rides, classic midway games, or simply walking the grounds with family, the atmosphere delivers something for everyone.

Saturday highlights include the St. Paul Community Parade, a local favorite that brings the broader community together in celebration. Families line the streets as the parade makes its way to the parish, setting the tone for a full day of activities. Throughout the day, guests can enjoy face painting, a lively cornhole tournament, and the ever-popular Bingo in the church basement, which continues to be a staple of the event year after year.

Of course, no St. Paul Parish Picnic would be complete without food. From classic picnic fare to featured meals like the chicken dinner served in the cafeteria, there are plenty of options to keep everyone fueled throughout the day.

At its core, the Parish Picnic is about connection. It’s a chance to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new families, and experience the strength of the St. Paul community. Whether you’ve been attending for years or are visiting for the first time, the St. Paul Parish Picnic offers a welcoming environment where faith, fellowship, and fun come together.

We invite you to join us this Memorial Day weekend and experience the tradition of the St. Paul Parish Picnic for yourself.

The Fenton Chamber is bringing the connection closer to you with our monthly In Your Neighborhood events! Designed to meet members where they are, this program takes us on the road to local businesses throughout Fenton and surrounding communities—spotlighting our members and strengthening relationships along the way. Each month, we pop into a different “neighborhood” for breakfast, lunch, or after-hours networking at a Chamber member location. These relaxed, come-and-go gatherings make it easy to connect with Chamber staff, meet fellow members, and build relationships with nearby business owners you might not see at other events.

While all are welcome, we make a point to personally invite members and prospective members who live or work nearby—creating a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere that’s all about connection, visibility, and support. Come support a local business, grow your network, and be part of what makes our business community thrive… one neighborhood at a time!
