Tickets are still available this week for the Chilton County Chamber of Commerce’s annual banquet on Friday at 6 p.m.

The banquet will be held at the Clanton Conference and Performing Arts Center.

“We still have tickets available,” Chamber of Commerce Executive Assistance Lynsie Glasscock said on Monday. “We encourage people to buy them early, because there is always the chance we could run out, but we will have them available at the door if people want to purchase them then.”

Tickets are $25 per person and will include dinner, awards and entertainment by De’Ja Blue, a six-member dance and show band from Birmingham.

This is the second year for the band to perform at the banquet.

There will also be a “social time” beginning at 6 p.m. to allow those in attendance the opportunity to mingle before dinner and talk with the new administrator for St. Vincent’s Chilton, Suzannah Campbell.

Dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. and the Chamber will also announce the recipients of its Ambassador of the Year, Business of the Year and Community Spirit awards.

Glasscock said there have been 270 tickets sold for the event so far.

The banquet in 2015 had roughly 300 people in attendance.

The purpose of the event is to provide something in appreciation of the members of the Chamber.

Glasscock said those planning to attend do not have to be Chamber members to enjoy the event.

The Clanton Conference and Performing Arts Center is located on the Jefferson State Community College Chilton-Clanton Campus off Lay Dam Road near Interstate 65 Exit 212.

Tickets for the banquet are available at the Chilton County Chamber of Commerce, 500 Fifth Ave. N., in Clanton.
