GREAT NIGHT AT THE CHAMBER BANQUET!

3/20/2017

 
Picture
The 2017 Chamber Banquet was a more festive event than most as the Fair theme, "Fairadise," was incorporated into many aspects of the evening.  From the hawaiian leis that attendees received on arrival, to the sand/seashell/fish centerpieces and signature drinks... everything had a tropical feel to it!

After social hour and a delicious meal catered by the KC Ladies Auxiliary, the program began.  Chairman of the Chamber Board of Directors, Jane Haberberger, gave a quick report on the organization before turning the microphone over to Bill Miller, Sr. for the presentation of the 2017 Washingtonian award.  Dave and Tim Politte accepted the award on behalf of their father, John Politte, who was posthumously named this year's Washingtonian.


2016 Fair Queen Ashley Cox, along with the 2017 Queen Committee Chairman, Jill Poepsel, drew the queen contestant sponsors for this year's event.  Thank you to everyone who signed up to sponsor a contestant:

Following the selection of queen contestants, 2017 Fair Chairman Joe Maniaci introduced the Fair promotional video.  Highlights for this year's fair include Bull Riding, Bronc Riding/Mexican Bull Fighting, Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League Western Series Tractor Pull, ITPA Field Class and Pro Stock Truck and Tractor Pull, and Stadium Motocross in the Ra-Comm/Radio Comm Motorsports Arena, and 7eventh Time Down, Granger Smith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Lonestar, George Thorogood and The Destroyers - Rock Party Tour, and Brothers Osborne on the Pepsi Main Stage.  This year's Chairman's event will be unlike anything we have featured before.  The fair is proud to host the 9/11 Never Forget Traveling Exhibit for the duration of the fair.  The memorial provides interactive education; including artifacts such as steel beams from the towers, documentary videos, recordings of first responder radio transmissions and live tours by FDNY firefighters.

The program came to a close with the Upper Deck Experience Auction.  Thank you to Bank of Franklin County, Bank of Washington, Heritage Community Bank, and Jenny & Grace for purchasing packages in the auction!

Guests wrapped up the evening listening and dancing to music from local band, SAVANA.​​
