Tickets are currently on sale for the annual Starke County Chamber of Commerce Awards Dinner.

This dinner will be held on Thursday, November 8th from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. at the Nancy J. Dembowski Community Center.

During this awards ceremony, the Chamber will recognize the recipient of the Henry F. Schricker Service before Self Award, the designated Business of the Year as well as the winners of the Above and Beyond Awards.

Tickets for the event are about $35 each. They’re available at the Starke County Chamber of Commerce Office or you can purchase them through eventbrite.com.

Chamber Executive Director Jessica Craig said the award recipients will be selected and announced on Monday, October 22nd. The selection committee consists of a few local officials as well as past award recipients

Craig noted that all past nominations remain in the running until they’re selected. She said the person who is most likely to win the ‘Service before Self Award’ is someone who has been nominated multiple times since that shows a long-term commitment to making an impact on the community.

She added that last year, the attendance for this event grew by about 40 percent and they’re hoping to see an even larger turn out this year. If you have any questions, you can contact the Starke County Chamber of Commerce at 574-772-5548.
