Chamber brings Vegas to Princeton PRINCETON — It’s not Las Vegas, but it’s the closest thing around Bureau County. The Princeton Chamber of Commerce’s Casino Night Gala is set for Saturday, Jan. 28, at the Bureau County Metro Center. The doors and bar open at 6 p.m.; gaming and bingo begins at 7 p.m. Princeton Chamber Executive Director Kim Frey said this year’s event will hold all the excitement the past four years have offered — even more. Tickets are $25 per person, which includes admission and appetizers. A silent auction will be held throughout the evening, with the winners announced around 10:30 p.m. “We’re bringing Vegas to Princeton,” said Frey, adding event-goers will enjoy all their favorite games of chance like bingo, slot machines and more. The evening also includes an opportunity to step inside the Cash Cube — where participants can try to grab as many casino dollars as they can in 30 seconds. At the end of the evening, attendees will be able to buy a host of prizes through the silent auction using the casino dollars they have won. Cash is also accepted for the silent auction. Frey said some of the prizes include a Cubs/Cards game package, tickets to see Journey, an Apple Watch, a night on the town which includes a Festival 56 and Prime Quarter package, Chicago Bulls tickets and much more. Appetizers provided by Sullivan’s Foods in Princeton are included in the entrance fee and will offer something for every taste bud in the room, Frey said the annual Casino Night Gala is the Chamber’s biggest fundraiser of the year and the only one where the profits are used to implement a large number of programs to supplement and promote the business community. The other fundraisers hosted by the Chamber are earmarked for specific projects. “It’s going to be a blast,” Frey said. “We have some great prizes — many which are different than we’ve ever had before. It should be tons of fun.” The event is open to the public. IVS file photo
