In lieu of ribbon cutting, we are excited to welcome Princess Tutus Boutique as a member!

Princess Tutus Boutique specializes custom embroidery and appliqué work, as well as custom tutus. Owner, Kelli Morgan, has been in operation since 2010. Since, she has sold tens of thousands of items, and shipped all over the US.

"As a small, family-centered business, the work I do is incredibly personal to me. I understand the meaning behind these pieces because I live it every day. I know what it’s like to hold onto moments, to celebrate milestones, and to want something tangible to remember them by."

September Business of the Month: M Scott Electric

Congrats M. Scott's Electric for being our September Business of the Month! These guys are always on the go around Ballard County helping with new builds, electrical problems, and more!

Owner, Mikel Scott, says "I have been doing electrical work in this county for over 25 years as a Master Electrician. I started my own business full time in 2014. Over the years I have added 3 more employees, Curtis Dennis, Kyler Ballard, and my son Lance, who I hope one day will take the business over and run it as his own. I have been truly blessed to help and work for the people of this county. We will continue to help and work for the people of this county doing professional work at a fair price."

Our community and Chamber appreciate all of your support and great work here in Ballard County. Congrats again!
