On Wednesday, September 11th, we gathered for another great edition of Breakfast Connections, hosted by First National Bank of Gilbert at the scenic West Forty RV Park and Campground in Gilbert. It was a brisk fall morning, perfect for enjoying a hot cup of coffee and watching the sunrise over the hills as we connected with fellow Chamber members. The atmosphere was full of energy and excitement as everyone came together to network, share ideas, and tour the campground's newest features.

Paul Skubic, owner of West Forty RV Park and Campground, proudly led us on a tour of the latest upgrades they've made to the campground. Paul has been working tirelessly for the last four years to enhance the property which has been in his family for over 20 years. One of the highlights was seeing the two brand-new Glamping Campsites, which offer incredible views and a unique twist on the camping experience. We also got to explore the recent added bath and shower house, a thoughtful addition for campers looking for added comfort. All these improvements were made possible with financing from First National Bank of Gilbert. 

First National Bank of Gilbert, with its focus on business services, shared exciting news about their plans to open a new location in Virginia next year. With rates coming down, the bank continues to be a valuable partner for the businesses in our community.

The beautiful setting of the West Forty RV Park and Campground was the perfect backdrop for a productive morning of networking. We encourage everyone to take a trip out to Gilbert to see this charming piece of 'Up North' for themselves. Whether you're looking for a peaceful getaway or planning your next business venture, you won't regret the visit!
