WELCOME TO THE
SOUTH FAIRFAX
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
In a competitive marketplace, the South Fairfax Chamber provides what many local businesses and nonprofits cannot easily achieve alone: consistent promotion, trusted exposure, and access to a strong, supportive business community.
We invite you to join a thriving network of local businesses, nonprofits, and professionals working together to create opportunities and connections. These interactions often lead to referrals, partnerships, mentorships, and collaborative marketing efforts. One of the most valuable benefits of Chamber membership is access to a built-in network of business owners, decision-makers, and community leaders. We intentionally create opportunities for connection through networking STIRs, committee involvement, educational programs, and signature events such as our Salute to Service and Achievement Honors Gala.
Home Sweet Home Spring Expo
The Trademasters Home Sweet Home Spring Expo proved to be far more than just a home and lifestyle event — it became a true celebration of community, connection, and giving back. Families, Chamber member businesses and nonprofits, community leaders, and residents gathered for a day filled with excitement, networking, entertainment, and purpose, all while supporting an important cause: raising funds for fellow SFCC member the Lorton Volunteer Fire Department and its efforts toward securing a new ambulance for the community.
Top sponsor and host, Trademasters Home Services showcased a wide variety of home services, and products, giving residents the opportunity to connect directly with trusted professionals in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, flooring, roofing, remodeling, and more. Attendees learned of Trademasters membership offering designed to make taking care of a home easier and their new Membership App—an all-in-one tool to stay on top of your home’s maintenance, services, and membership benefits.
Children enjoyed games, activities, and interactive experiences, while guests of all ages visited vendors, explored exhibits, and connected with neighbors and community organizations.
The Home Sweet Home Expo also highlighted the incredible impact local businesses and organizations can make when they unite around a shared mission. Generous support was provided by FJF Interiors, Integrative Health and Aesthetics, All Smiles Orthodontics, and State Farm agent Casey Whitmarsh. Several nonprofit organizations also stepped forward in support of the Lorton Volunteer Fire Department, including American Legion Post 162, which donated $2,000 toward the cause. The Emma Jordon Kidz Fighting Cancer Foundation delighted children with a complimentary flower garden activity, while the live lambs from LambMowers.com quickly became a crowd favorite, creating smiles, laughter, and countless photo opportunities throughout the day. Attendees also enjoyed live entertainment courtesy of Potomac Music.
The fundraising component of the event added a deeper sense of purpose and community pride. The Lorton Volunteer Fire Department serves as a critical resource for the region, and support for a new ambulance will directly benefit residents and emergency response efforts for years to come. Attendees embraced the opportunity to support local first responders while enjoying a memorable day with family and friends.
Many participants described the expo as a refreshing example of what can happen when businesses and community organizations work together toward a common goal. The success of the Home Sweet Home Expo serves as a reminder that community events can do more than entertain — they can inspire connection, strengthen local relationships, support important causes, and create lasting positive impact.
As the community reflects on the event’s success, one thing is clear: the Home Sweet Home Expo was not just about homes — it was about heart.
Members of the business community recently gathered for an evening of networking and collaboration as the South Fairfax Chamber of Commerce hosted a special networking STIR highlighting a new home services membership program from Trademasters.
The event brought together chamber members, local business leaders, and community partners to connect, learn about the new offering, and explore ways businesses that work with homeowners can collaborate with the program. Supervisor Dan Storck was in attendance and said a few words.
The new membership initiative from Trademasters is designed to simplify home maintenance for homeowners by providing a single, trusted source for essential services such as HVAC, plumbing, roofing, flooring, and handyman work. By creating a streamlined membership model, the company aims to make it easier for homeowners to stay ahead of maintenance needs while having reliable professionals just a call away. The event also highlighted how collaboration between businesses can strengthen the local economy while delivering added value to residents.
During the program, Dave Kyle, CEO of Trademasters and SFCC Board member, shared the vision behind the new membership model and how it is designed to benefit both homeowners and local business partners. He said Trademasters' goal with the membership is to make home services simple and dependable and at the same time, this is a tremendous opportunity to work with other businesses that serve homeowners—whether that’s real estate professionals, insurance agents, or community organizations.
Throughout the evening, attendees had the opportunity to ask questions about the membership, discuss potential partnerships, and network with fellow chamber members. The event also served as a reminder of the important role the chamber plays in fostering connections within the local business community.
As the South Fairfax Chamber continues to host events designed to support member businesses, gatherings like this help create the kind of relationships that drive both innovation and growth.
