Board Member Highlight: Stu Davis 🌟
Talk about dedication! Since 1975, Stu Davis — owner of S & S Vac, Appliance & Sewing Center — has been keeping Hyde Park homes and businesses running strong for over 50 years! 👏
From vacuum repairs to sewing machines and everything in between, Stu has built his business on skill, honesty, and top-notch service. And his impact doesn’t stop there…
A Chamber member since 1976 and Board member for 30 years, Stu has helped raise thousands through the annual Car Show and supported countless community initiatives along the way. 🚗💙
Behind it all is his amazing partner, his wife Catherine “Bunny,” sharing 37 wonderful years together and helping keep the business thriving and community-focused.

Stu, thank you for your decades of dedication, leadership, and heart. Hyde Park is better because of you! 💫

We’re celebrating one of Hyde Park’s brightest community champions — Dora Visbeck! ✨
For 30 years, Dora has called Hyde Park home, pouring her heart into the community she loves and its rich history. She’s been married to her husband, Anthony, for 29 years and is a proud mom to Kristen and Kayla — and an even prouder grandma to Kelsey, Kara, Kaitlyn & Michele. 💛👨👩👧👧
