Fun and casual will be the mantra for this year’s Fairfield Chamber of Commerce Awards Banquet. Chamber Chair Josh Bayless chose a “Fishing” theme for 2017.
The official invitation will feature a fishing vest, table centerpieces will include lures and bobbers, and members are looking for metal boats and old Coleman laterns to use for decorating the space.
Keeping with the theme, this year’s menu will include fried catfish or grilled chicken, coleslaw, red beans and mashed potatoes with cheesecake for dessert.
Awards will be given for Best Dressed Theme Wear (encouraged, but not required).
The Banquet is set for Thursday, January, 26, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. at the Depot X in Fairfield, Texas. Tickets are $25 per person and may be purchased from a Board member.
Tickets also availabe for purchase at the Freestone County Times office at 401 E. Commerce Street in Fairfield.
The Chamber will recognize Citizen, Business and Civic Organization of the Year. Teachers and Student of the Year will also be announced for Fairfield ISD.
