Save The Date! Chamber of Commerce 42nd Annual Banquet

We have an exciting evening planned for your 42nd Annual Chamber Banquet on Saturday, February 25th at the Clifton Armory! The theme for this year’s banquet is “Experience Clifton”.

A delicious meal will be served preceded by appetizers and drinks, with beautiful decorations, an inspiring program and a live auction with SEVEN SENSATIONAL ONE-of-a-KIND CLIFTON EXPERIENCES.

Some of the Live Auction items will include...

Tour Bosque County in Eldorado Classic Car
Whether the name “El Dorado” inspires visions of a city of gold or an Indian chieftain, you can feast your eyes on the glittering, golden hills of Bosque County in a classic Eldorado with Dr. Terry Watson when you win this “Cadillac of tours.” Included in this package is a picnic basket, a $50 gift card from our famous Sulak’s Czech Meat Market, along with delicious wine and appetizers as you explore automotive history at our Clifton Classic Chassis Auto Museum.
The Norwegian Experience
You won’t feel a bit grinchy as our Cheer Meister this year. Reign as Grand Marshall of the Lighted Christmas Parade, then take a grand carriage ride with hot wassail and Christmas cookies to warm your heart. Share your cheer with 7 of your favorite folks, because you will have your own special van to carry you through the Norwegian Christmas Tour hosted by an interesting tour guide; you will munch a delectable Norwegian lunch and seal your popularity with eight 2012 Chamber Christmas Ornaments you may gift to all in your group.
Cub Package
Jump! Shout! That’s what spirit’s all about. Not only will you grab your Family Pass and head to all the Clifton home games for the 2012-2013 season, you will have sideline privileges at the home CUB football games. Sorry, you can’t be coach, but you can wear you official game day coach’s shirt while you attend a Saturday planning session with the varsity coaching staff. GO CUBS!
“Remember” the Alamo
This is your chance to share the history of Texas by displaying the work of a living legend in Clifton’s art world. Visit the artist, George Hallmark, at his studio with three of your art-loving friends and learn more about the history of this Alamo 6/185. “Remember” to bring the giclee and George will sign the back and customize it to make it a priceless One-of-a-Kind.
The Downtowner
“When you're alone and life is making you lonely you can always go – downtown.” You’ll be singing a happy tune with this package for 8 – dinner and a movie at Mitchell’s Grille and tickets to the CLIFTEX, followed by a comfortable overnight stay at the Screen Door Inn and breakfast at Tiffany’s. I’ll do even better. Let’s have breakfast at Somethins’ Brewing.
The Trump “Experience”
This event is sure to be both smooth and rough. First comes the Smooth – a ride and tour of Bosque County in a Ranger Helicopter with a gentle touchdown. Next comes the Rough – that’s Rough Creek Lodge, which really isn’t rough at all with its rich and expansive atmosphere and food that is, well – smooth – especially with a $250 Gift Card.

The Banquet Committee is focusing solely on creating an opportunity for you to visit with other Clifton residents and business owners in a fun and relaxed environment.

Please join us for the fun and festivities on February 25. We invite you to wear your Sunday best! Tickets are available at the Chamber office. Hospitality will open at 6:00 pm and dinner will be served at 6:30 pm. Award services will be beginning immediately following the dinner when the Community Service and Lifetime Achievement awards will be presented. 

We look forward to seeing you and your entire staff and friends at the Annual Banquet!
