THINGS to KNOW about . . .
PRINEVILLE-CROOK
COUNTY CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE
The Prineville-Crook County Chamber of Commerce and Visitors
Center would like to invite you to come in, have a cup of coffee,
pick up some brochures, visit with staff, and then you will only get
a glimpse of what awaits you.
Prineville and Crook County offer all things outdoors and all
things country. The community prides itself on “longevity,” mean-
ing most things they do, they’ve done for many, many years.
Prineville is a city of nearly 10,000, with a community pushing
22,000. It offers golf, world-class fishing, hunting, camping, biking,
hiking, swimming, rafting, boating, cross-country skiing, snowmo-
biling, rock hounding, and don’t forget the well-known Crooked
River Roundup and horse races.
Prineville enjoys a small town charm, a sense of family — yet
has a city and county government that are progressive and for-
ward thinking. It is now known as the “data center” county, home
of Facebook and Apple, and with this progressive way of thinking,
can be assured that economic recovery is now within reach.
The Chamber is led by a 14-member board of directors, two of
which are Ex-Officio members appointed by the city and county
governments. The primary goal is community collaboration. By
having local government representation, it is exceeding this goal
and improving the ability to focus on realistic outcomes that affect
the entire county.
Prineville-Crook County Chamber of Commerce Executive director Holli Van Wert and
Executive Assistant Kandice Magnuson.
