Chamber Program Director Kay Burton said this year’s festivities will start just a bit earlier, and the “business” will be handled in the beginning so that members can relax, network and visit. It’s a tradition to celebrate what has been accomplished over the past year, Burton said, as well as a time to install new Chamber officers.

“It’s an opportunity to be in a more relaxed social situation for Chamber members to get to know each other and fellowship,” Burton said.

Tickets are $10 and are available at the Chamber or at the door. For more information call the Chamber at 601-833-1411.
