Anderson County Chamber of Commerce

Annual Gala

Dear Distinguished Chamber Member, 

We recently wrapped up our 39th Annual Gala at The Show Barn at Daynabrook Farms. We rolled out the red carpet from 5:30 – 9:00 p.m. for our membership! We hosted an elegant, semi-formal evening, with comedian Joe Deuce, a stunning charcuterie display, a stellar meal of steak and shrimp, awards, a selfie booth, music and a live auction. This year’s theme was Bowties & Bourbon!

Your support is essential to the success of this Chamber event each year. We hope that you will consider sponsoring the Gala next year.  

The Gala is a major fundraiser as well as the largest membership gathering for your Chamber. It promises to be a night filled with fun, friendship, and the opportunity to network and promote your business with other Chamber members as well as the general public. 

Please notify us by January 1st, 2024, if you are interested in a sponsorship. Please contact us to confirm your support.

Silent & Live Auction Items needed 

If you or your business can contribute a silent auction item, contact the Chamber office at 502-839- 5564 by January 6, 2024, to ensure that your donation is listed in the Gala presentation. This is a wonderful opportunity to promote your business and participate in the Chamber Gala at the same time! 

We would like to thank all of you who participated in bringing “Bowties & Bourbon” to life! See you next year! 

Sincerely, 

Jeri Lynn Carmickle, Executive Director
