Change is Good…..
The Liberty Chamber of Commerce made some changes to its Annual Banquet this year. Fun was added to the agenda! It was a beautiful evening at the “Roost” where the banquet was held. The elegantly rustic venue provided the perfect setting for the new, more relaxed format. Guests had an opportunity to mingle, socialize and interact with one another. A prime rib and chicken meal, catered by “Simply Southern Catering” was delicious. Comedian Renee Henderson, provided some comic relief during dinner. DJ Cleave Caviness entertained with a variety of dance music. An assortment of props and an elegant background provided a photo booth area, for guests to engage in more fun. Silent Auction items donated by local and area businesses provided another layer of entertainment, as guests bid on their favorites. The highlight of the evening remained the Awards Ceremony. Each year the Liberty Chamber of Commerce awards, outstanding representatives, who go above and beyond to give back to our community. This year’s 2017 Awards were as follows. Church of the Year: Sandy Creek Baptist Church Volunteer of the Year: Lori Cobb; Faith Community Nurse Business Person of the Year: JB Griffith III of Liberty Advisors. Business of the Year: Supertex; Ed Cummins Over all the 2017 Liberty Chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet was a lot of fun! Going forward, we will continue to uphold this standard of fun for our Banquets. We hope you will join us next year. We want to recognize our Liberty Chamber Board Members. We are a great team who collaborated and worked hard to pull this wonderful event together. Thank you all!
