Brookville Students Bring Big Ideas to Life — Public Invited to Wheelers & Dealers!

The Brookville Area Chamber of Commerce and Brookville Area High School are again teaming up and excited to welcome the public to the annual Wheelers & Dealers event on Wednesday, December 18th. This much-loved project gives senior Economics students the opportunity to showcase their creativity, business skills, and hard work — and the public is invited to be part of the fun. Led by Economics teacher Nancee Miles, senior students design, fabricate, and market their own products using recycled or low-cost materials. They create commercials and presentations, learning hands-on lessons in entrepreneurship, marketing, and teamwork. Originally launched nearly two decades ago by former teacher Bill Kutz, Wheelers & Dealers continues to be a standout tradition that prepares students with skills that last a lifetime. Event Details:Wednesday, December 17th, 11:15am–12:00pmAuxiliary Gym, Brookville Area High SchoolFree to attend • Donations benefit the Class of 2026 How It Works:When you walk in, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase “play money” at the door. You’ll then use that play money to “buy” your favorite student-made items. Students do their best to create extra products for the public, but availability is not guaranteed — and that’s okay! You can still show your support by donating even if an item is sold out. At the end of the event, the student with the highest sales will earn bragging rights and a gift card sponsored by the Brookville Area Chamber of Commerce. All proceeds support the Class of 2026. This event is open to EVERYONE — parents, families, neighbors, businesses, and anyone who wants to cheer on our young entrepreneurs. Come celebrate creativity, innovation, and community spirit while supporting our local students. Questions?

Think Local First:  Brookville Chamber Invites You to Shop Small This Holiday

This holiday season, the Brookville Area Chamber of Commerce is encouraging you to Think Local First and support the small businesses that make our community strong by shopping local during Small Business Weekend, Saturday, November 29th and Sunday, November 30th throughout the Brookville area. In a world where it’s easy to click “add to cart” or standing in line at a big-box store, it’s more important than ever to remember what happens when we choose to support the businesses right here at home. Every dollar spent at a small business stays right here to strengthen our local economy and support the people who live and work among us.  When you shop small, you’re helping a little girl take dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a mom put food on the table, a dad pay the mortgage, or a college student afford tuition. “We don’t have large chain restaurants or shopping malls in Brookville,” said Jamie Popson, Executive Director of the Brookville Area Chamber of Commerce, “but what we do have is a warm smile that greets you, genuine service from someone who knows your name, a personal touch to help you find just the right thing, and a shopping experience where you leave with more than your purchase, you leave with a new friend.” Small Business Weekend in Brookville will be filled with festive fun and community spirit. Shoppers can enjoy giveaways, discounts, specials, and a free tote bag sponsored by local businesses eager to thank you for choosing local. It’s the perfect time to explore the variety Brookville has to offer, discover unique holiday gifts, and enjoy the charm of small-town shopping at its best. From curated vintage treasures and elegant home décor, chic fashion, luxurious fragrances, intimate accessories, gourmet treats, and festive finds, the Brookville area is full of surprises. You’ll discover outdoor gear and quality workwear featuring trusted brands and so much more. Every corner of Brookville offers something special — a blend of creativity, tradition, and personality that makes shopping local a true destination of discovery. With rising costs and challenges touching everyone in some way, this season is a reminder that kindness costs nothing and that supporting your neighbors makes a real difference. Every purchase, no matter how small, helps keep our community strong and thriving. Small Business Weekend is more than a shopping event — it’s a celebration of community, connection, and the people who make Brookville feel like home.

Temerity Aleworks Brings Bold Brewing Tradition Back to Brookville

Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting Set for September 13 Brookville has a proud brewing history dating back to the 1800s, when local breweries like the North Fork and Spring Brewery served the community. That tradition has been waiting to be revived… until now. After more than a century, Brookville once again has a hometown brewery. Please join us and raise a glass to Temerity Aleworks! The Brookville Area Chamber of Commerce will officially welcome Temerity Aleworks, located at 98 Service Center Road, Brookville, PA, with a Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony on Saturday, September 13, 2025 at 3:50pm, followed by the official Grand Opening celebration at 4pm.

Temerity Aleworks embraces traditional European beer styles with fearless creativity, inviting the community to experience beer “the way it was intended.” Founders Kevin and Jamie focus on English, German, and Belgian traditions, brewing beer with uncompromising attention to detail and respect for the craft.  Using water science, yeast selection, and time-honored fermentation techniques, they strive to present light, crisp ales and lagers to rich, robust porters and stouts, creating classic flavors that invite everyone, even those unsure about craft beer, to savor the artistry in every pour. At over 8,000 square feet, the brewery and taproom is designed to bring people together, not just to enjoy beer. From live music and events to indoor cornhole, a pinball arcade, and food trucks, Temerity Aleworks is creating a versatile space for the community to gather, connect, and celebrate. While the brewery does not serve food in-house, guests can enjoy a variety of local food trucks to ensure their visit offers something delicious to pair with their carefully crafted beers. “We want to represent traditional styles of beer and open conversations about craft brewing, even for people who think they don’t like craft beer,” said co-owner Jamie. “Our goal is to make Temerity Aleworks a place where everyone feels welcome.” The opening of Temerity Aleworks is more than just the launch of a new business. It marks the return of an important part of Brookville’s heritage, while also creating a vibrant destination for both locals and visitors. The brewery enhances the local economy, provides a new gathering place for the community, and helps put the Brookville area on the map for craft beer enthusiasts across the region.

Held in the heart of Brookville, this event brings together people from all walks of life: young adults seeking a fun night out, couples on spontaneous dates, families enjoying time with their kids, and travelers who stumble upon something special. In many ways, this is exactly what the Chamber’s mission is all about, connecting members inside and outside the community while supporting local businesses.

BBQ crews fire up their smokers to compete for a trophy and bragging rights. But the fun doesn’t stop there. Unique treats like ice cream, kettle corn, fresh-squeezed lemonade, and handmade goodies add even more flavor to the day. With a vibrant mix of vendors, you’ll find handmade crafts, unique shops, and lively booths that give the event its authentic hometown feel. There’s something happening around every corner, from kid-friendly activities like bounce houses, face painting, and games, to a show-stopping car cruise-in that draws auto enthusiasts from across the region. Live music keeps the energy buzzing well into the evening, making for an unforgettable day of entertainment. This year’s Brookville BBQ Bash will also feature Relay for Life of Jefferson County, honoring cancer survivors and their caregivers with a special gathering during the event. Visit their booth to purchase luminaria bags and play the crowd-favorite Human Slot Machine. The celebration kicks off with entertainment by John Cornman starting at 6pm, followed by a meaningful Survivor Ceremony and recognition at 7pm, complete with cake and ice cream! As dusk falls, gather for the moving Luminaria Ceremony—symbols of remembrance and hope. Stop by the beer tent, where we will be offering custom souvenir mugs for purchase that can be refilled throughout the day as you enjoy the festival. Craving something other than beer, Twisted Vine Winery will be at the BBQ Bash! Purchase a glass to sip while you stroll or a bottle to share with friends. Be sure to enter the Boatload of Beer raffle for a chance to win two brand new kayaks and more than a dozen cases of beer. Raffle tickets are $10 and available now through the Chamber office. At its core, the BBQ Bash is about connection, connecting people to each other, to great food, to small-town charm, and to the local businesses that keep our community thriving. Surrounded by historic charm and beautiful countryside, whether you’re a competitor, shopper, foodie, or just here for fun, you’ll feel right at home.
