Annual Gala

Dear Chamber Member,

You are cordially invited to join us for an unforgettable evening of intrigue, elegance, and Southern charm at the 42nd Annual Gala on Saturday, January 31st, 2026, at The Woodford here in Lawrenceburg from 5:00 – 8:30 p.m.! Join us for a night of mystery, bourbon, and celebration at the Bourbon Affair!

This year’s gala promises to be unlike any other, as we blend timeless sophistication with a dash of suspense in a live murder mystery dinner experience that will keep you guessing and laughing all night long.

As we mark 42 years of business excellence and community partnership, we invite you to raise a glass and celebrate with us in true Chamber style, where great company, fine spirits, and a touch of mystery create the perfect blend.

Your sponsorship not only supports the Chamber’s continued mission of fostering local business growth and community prosperity, but also places your brand at the center of an elegant and engaging experience attended by fellow leaders, community partners, and entrepreneurs.

Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are limited, so reserve your place early!

We look forward to seeing you at the Bourbon Affair, where every toast tells a story, and every guest may hold a clue! Doors open at 5:00 p.m. Gala tickets are $65 for members and $100 for non-members.

Attire: 1920’s Cocktail or Vintage Bourbon Chic (think Old Kentucky glamour)
