Chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet Going Virtual

The Wenatchee Valley Chamber of Commerce will host it's annual banquet virtually this year on March 4th at 6:00 pm.

Communications Director Sasha Sleiman said the Chamber's 2021 Annual Banquet is normally held at the convention center. The event will include the announcement of the Business of the Year and Non-profit of the Year, as well as the Chamber's Cornerstone Awards.

"We promise it's not going to be a boring, typical virtual event." explained Sleiman, "We have 400 spaces available. When you register and get your ticket you'll get a box. That box will take you through an awesome virtual experience along with us. So you get to participate in this. You wont just be sitting back and watching."

Chamber Executive Director Shiloh Burgess and Apple Valley Honda General Manager/Chamber Board President Tod McLaughlin will host the event.

This year, the banquet will have an online auction with 'showcase' items from local businesses to bid on. The auction will open March 1st at 8:00 pm, closing March 7th at 6:00 pm.

Tickets are $55 for Chamber members and $70 for non-members. To register, go to visitwenatchee.org.
