Our Chamber Ambassadors recently visited Sota Seamless Gutter Co and learned more about the growing business built by ROCORI graduate and Cold Spring native, Reggie Fraley.

What started just a year and a half ago has quickly grown into a full-time operation serving homeowners throughout Central Minnesota. Sota Seamless specializes in gutter installation, replacement, repairs, cleaning, underground drainage solutions, and gutter guard systems.

What impressed us most was Reggie’s commitment to professionalism and customer service. From custom-formed seamless gutters and industry-leading warranties to branded trucks, trailers, and apparel, every detail reflects the pride he takes in his work.

Most importantly, it’s clear that Reggie genuinely cares about helping homeowners protect one of their biggest investments while building a business centered on trust, quality, and family values.

We’re excited to watch Sota Seamless Gutter Co continue to grow and make an impact throughout our region! Check out their website at: https://www.sotaseamlessgutter.com/ 👏

✨ WISE | Women in Supportive Enterprise ✨

A heartfelt thank you to Art by Tess Designs for hosting our May WISE event! The creative atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for an evening filled with meaningful conversation, connection, and creativity.

Thank you to all of the incredible women who attended and made the evening so special. One of the things that makes WISE unique is that our focus isn’t on networking that feels forced or transactional. Instead, we gather to build authentic relationships, share experiences, support one another, and create a community where women can thrive together.

Tonight was a wonderful reminder that some of the most valuable connections come from genuine conversations, shared stories, and simply taking the time to get to know one another.

We’re grateful for everyone who joined us and look forward to continuing to grow this amazing community of women in supportive enterprise.

💙 Until next time!



📸 Bonus: The Minnesota-shaped pour art pieces turned out absolutely beautiful and were the perfect representation of how each person’s creativity brings something unique to the community.

But this event is about more than just art.

We’re intentionally creating space for:
✨ Networking that doesn’t feel forced

This is what WISE is all about—supporting one another, sharing experiences, and walking away feeling connected and inspired.

🇺🇸 Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country.

Memorial Day is more than the unofficial start to summer — it is a day of reflection, gratitude, and remembrance for those who gave everything for the freedoms we enjoy each day.

As we gather with family and friends throughout the ROCORI area this weekend, may we take a moment to remember the heroes and families whose sacrifice made those moments possible.

From all of us at the Cold Spring Area Chamber, we thank and honor our fallen service members. ❤️🤍💙
