We’re excited about honoring
Karen Seaberg. We promise a fun

a dress up opportunity! Cocktail
hour begins at 5:30. Join us for
some special drink treats from
Most Wanted and MGP Ingredients! We’ll be seated for the
Chamber Awards at 6:30 and din-
ner will be around 7. Immediately
following dinner, we will celebrate
Karen and all she has done for
this community!
THANK YOU to all our wonderful
sponsors who are helping make
this a night to remember!
Looking ahead… our 3rd Annual
