Rosecrans Memorial Airport has long been a point of pride in St. Joseph, and it continues to elevate our community’s reputation on a national stage. For the second time in a row, Rosecrans has been awarded “Best Show Site of the Year” by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds—an honor that reflects the outstanding success of the Sound of Speed Airshow and the exceptional collaboration behind it. While Sound of Speed is set to return in 2026, Rosecrans is introducing an exciting new experience this year: the Pony Express STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing). This inaugural event will bring a fresh kind of aviation excitement to St. Joseph, offering a rare chance for spectators to see high-performance aircraft in action during short-distance takeoff and landing challenges. 📅 Mark your calendars for May 16-17 2025! 🎟️ Get your tickets at https://lnkd.in/gdTU2vhD Rosecrans Memorial Airport continues to be a leader in bringing innovative and community-centered aviation events to our region, and we’re proud to spotlight their work. #52members #52weeks #sjchamber

If you know farming, you know it takes good people, good products, and a whole lot of hard work to keep things running. That’s exactly what Central Commodities has been about for over 20 years. Located right here in St. Joseph (with an additional location in Stanberry), they’re the go-to for feed, grain services, and everything in between. Whether you’re dropping off a harvest, picking up feed, or just swapping stories with folks who get it, this place is all about keeping local agriculture strong. Farming isn’t just a job—it’s a way of life. And businesses like Central Commodities make sure our producers have what they need to keep going, season after season. #52members #52weeks #sjchamber
