Individual tickets are priced at $35. In addition, attendees may reserve tables for eight at $280. The proceeds from the ticket sales will be used for future banquets.

Olney Chamber Director Deidre Choat-Brown explained the importance of the annual banquet that most members look forward to attending.

“The annual banquet is an opportunity to gather with officials and business owners to honor their accomplishments for the year. The Chamber’s purpose is to be an anchor to the business community. We want everyone to know that we are here for them,” said Choat-Brown.

The event will include an auction, dinner and entertainment. The silent auction will be part of the event and help with costs for the coming year. The auction will consist of jewelry, accessories, décor, art, a family trip to the zoo, among other items. The Orchard located in Wichita Falls will cater the meal. Guests will choose between pineapple chicken or pork tenderloin served with roasted vegetables, salad and dessert. In addition, the Piano Man will provide entertainment.
