Croftburn Farms, Old House Vineyards, and Belmont Farms Distillery are just a few of the special features that we have in store for you at the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce’s 96th Annual Banquet to be held at Germanna’s Daniel Technology Center Thursday, Nov. 4.
Croftburn Farms was the recipient of the Agribusiness of the Year Award for 2010 from the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce. This fits our mission to buy as many of the products used from local sources and members. I am proud to say that we will be serving Croftburn Farms Beef in the main dishes this year. I can’t wait to try the dishes created by Kitchen Gourmet Catering that include the Croftburn Farms Beef.
Our banquet will be moderated by Todd Brown of Brown Harris Investments. Knowing Todd, this is going to be a great evening. Come early to develop your strategy for bidding on the silent auction items. You can find some of the silent auction items displayed on the Chamber website ChamberBanquet.com. Or go to our Facebook page and click on the “Like” button for Chamber updates. There is still time to get your silent auction item in for the banquet.
Our guest speaker this year is from the Virginia Tourism Corporation. Bobbi Walker will provide some great ideas with a mix of humor about customer service. I heard Ms. Walker speak at a Virginia Chamber of Commerce Executives meeting last year. We booked her early as she is in high demand having spoken at many of the Chambers of Commerce events around the state. Ms. Walker has also provided support to Germanna lending her insights at the Workforce and Community Education Advisory meeting that we attended in June. You will be uplifted and inspired by her message.
The Award recipients this year will be very interesting. We have had many names and businesses submitted in each category. The awards to be given are Non-Profit of the Year, Young Professional of the Year, Most Improved Business Location, Small Business Person of the Year, The L.B. Henretty Award, and a new award this year – Business of the Year. The selection committee individuals were given 3 votes for their top choice, 2 votes for their second choice, and one vote for their third choice. When all of the votes were tallied – our 2010 recipients were identified. You will want to be there to see the recipients announced.
Great food and refreshments from local, world renowned producers, entertainment from a world class speaker, recognizing super stars in our local economy, sensational silent auction items, and a once-a-year networking event…..
