It is time to once again honor business owners in our community at our annual Sparkle & Shine black tie-optional gala. Title sponsor Caldwell Insurance Agency is back again this year and is partnering with Bear Paw Painters. We will gather and announce business awards on Saturday, November 5 at the Evergreen Lake House.
In addition to so many of our business owners being in one place to celebrate together, we have added excitement this year with a guest celebrity chef preparing the food for the evening. Chef Kent Rathbun (chefkentrathbun.com) will be traveling to Evergreen to cook with his good friend, Glen Fountain, owner of Fountain Barbecue, who was the winner of the Best Savory Bite at the 2022 Taste of Evergreen. Chef Rathbun cooked for Queen Elizabeth for the 2001 Bush Inaugural Ball, and for Oprah. In 2008, he competed on Food Network’s hit series “Iron Chef America” and defeated grillmaster Bobby Flay. We are so thrilled to enjoy the menu he and Glen will be preparing for us. If you would like to join us, visit evergreenchamber.org for more details and tickets.
The focus of the evening will be on celebrating our business owners. While the voting has concluded, I still want to share with you who the nominees are so you can congratulate them while you are out and about in our community.
