Events and Programs

The 12th Annual Taste of the Chamber was held October 18, 2010 at the DeltaPlex Arena & Conference Center!

Nearly 300 attendees sampled food and beverage and had the opportunity to make cash & carry purchases from over 30 Chamber member restaurants, caterers, and retail business at the DeltaPlex Arena & Conference Center on Monday, October 18, 2010.

Taste of the Chamber is always one of the most favorite networking events held and this year was no exception. The adding of retailers was a welcome addition to the event!  

Many restaurants and caterers entered the "Best of the Chamber" competition, but three members rose above all other. Congratulations to our 2010 Award recipients!
