Break out the bell bottoms and get ready for a groovy good time as the Clarendon Chamber of Commerce celebrates the 1960s and 1970s during its “Peace Love Local” awards banquet Thursday, February 29, at the Bairfield Activity Center.
Tickets are on sale now for the event, which will recognize several outstanding citizens in Donley County. The awards to be given will be the Saints’ Roost Award for a lifetime of service to the community and the Man and Woman of the Year, the Volunteer Organization of the Year, and Business of the Year in addition to recognitions for outstanding youth from Clarendon and Hedley.
Musical entertainment for the evening will be by Jackie Haney & the Geezers Gone Wild, back by popular demand from last year’s banquet and featuring Clarendon native Charlie Clinton on the keyboard.
The evening will begin at 6 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres and reception, including the annual Chamber silent auction and gift box pull. The banquet, entertainment, and awards will follow at 7 p.m.
Those attending are encouraged to dress up like the 1960s and 1970s, and 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.
Tickets are $25 each and must be purchased in advance at the Visitor Center. For more information, contact the Visitor Center at 806-874-2421.
