Tickets are on sale now for the 2015 Chamber Awards banquet to be held Thursday, February 12, at the Clarendon College Bairfield Activity Center.
Dr. Don Newbury will be the headline entertainment at the banquet, and the Chamber will honor three of Donley County’s top citizens with the Saints’ Roost Award and Man and Woman of the Year and also recognize outstanding youth from Clarendon and Hedley high schools.
Newbury, the former president of Western Texas College in Snyder and Howard Payne University in Brownwood, is an acclaimed speaker and noted writer with his column, The Idle American, appearing in about 150 Texas newspapers, including the Enterprise.
Newbury has addressed more than 250 annual Chamber of Commerce banquets across the United States and conducts seminars to stimulate community pride, and speaks for chamber boards at planning retreats.
This year’s Chamber event with the Valentine’s theme of “Clarendon – Sweetheart of the Panhandle” will begin at 6 p.m. with a reception and a silent auction followed by the banquet, entertainment, and awards at 7 p.m.
Tickets are $20 per person and must be purchased in advance at the Clarendon Visitor Center at the Mulkey Theatre or at The Clarendon Enterprise.
Businesses are also invited to purchase blocks of tickets by sponsoring tables at the event. Table sponsors will get to decorate their tables to reflect their business and the theme of the banquet with a prize given for the best table decoration.
