Though the Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1912, incorporated in 1934, the annual Community Awards Banquet was first held in 1958. Originally named the “Citizen of the year” event, outstanding individuals were recognized for their community service. The event was renamed the “Carpinterian of the year” and later changed to the “Community awards Banquet” and is the Chamber’s signature event of the year. Throughout the years the celebration was held at various venues including The Palms, the Carpinteria High School Cafeteria, Carpinteria Boys and Girls Club, Girls Inc. of Carpinteria, Carpinteria Veterans Hall, and the Miramar Hotel in Montecito. Beginning in 1993 the Banquet was staged in a tent at the Carpinteria State Beach but inclement weather brought that to an end in 1998.
