Nationally recognized speaker Lyndy Phillips will be the headline entertainment when the Clarendon Chamber of Commerce holds its annual Awards Banquet on Thursday, February 7, at the Bairfield Activity Center.
Awards to be given will be the Saints’ Roost Award for a lifetime of service to the community, the Man and Woman of the Year, and the Business of the Year. The Chamber will also recognize outstanding youth from Clarendon and Hedley.
Lyndy Phillips was raised on a farm in the Texas Panhandle, served 15 years in full-time ministry, worked 12 years in sales and fundraising, and was the Executive Director for a highly popular television show about marriage.
Phillips engages audiences, makes them laugh, amazes their minds, and delivers clean, humorous content to reduce stress immediately and long term. He’s been performing magic since the age of nine and performed his first stage magic show at the age of fifteen. In college, he began combing speaking, comedy, and magic as a way to amaze and amuse people while delivering his message.
