In this episode, we’re joined by Amanda Daugherty, CEO of the Santee Chamber of Commerce, to talk all things Santee!

Amanda shares the excitement behind Santee’s Favorites Business Awards Night, where local businesses are recognized and celebrated by the community they serve. We discuss how this special evening highlights the entrepreneurs, restaurants, and service providers that make Santee thrive.

We also dive into the impact of Santee Magazine, a community-driven publication that showcases local stories, businesses, and events—helping residents stay connected and engaged.

And of course, we talk about the highly anticipated Santee Street Fair, one of the city’s biggest annual events, featuring local vendors, live entertainment, food, and family fun. Amanda gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to bring the fair to life and why it’s such a beloved tradition in Santee.

If you love supporting local, celebrating small businesses, and staying connected to your community, this episode is for you!
