As always, the Fairfield Chamber will recognize Citizen, Business and Civic Organization of the Year, along with Teachers and Student of the Year, announced for Fairfield ISD.
This year will include a new award: Best Dressed “Gone Fishin’” Theme Wear.
Those attending are encouraged (but, not required) to get into the fun with a outfit or costume worthy of luring new business and customers.
Fun and casual will be the mantra for this year’s Fairfield Chamber of Commerce Awards Banquet. Chamber Chair Josh Bayless chose the “Fishing” theme for 2017.
The official invitation features 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.
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 are also available at the Freestone County Times office in Fairfield.
Door prizes will be given away, and the popular Ralph Billings returns to auction off some wonderful cakes.
For more info, or to donate fishing gear for the décor, contact Brenda or Lisa at the Chamber at 903-389-5792.
