Annual Chamber Banquet Theme is House of Cards

The Bryan Area Chamber of Commerce invites the business community to an evening of celebration, connection, and a little Wonderland whimsy at its 2027 Annual Chamber Banquet on Wednesday, March 3, 2027, at the Fraternal Order of Eagles #2233, located at 221 S. Walnut Street in Bryan.

This year's theme, “House of Cards,” brings a touch of Wonderland magic to an evening dedicated to celebrating entrepreneurship, business excellence, and the accomplishments of the Bryan area business community.

Step into an evening where Wonderland whimsy meets business excellence. Guests are encouraged to dress to impress in the colors of the card suits, with bold reds representing hearts and diamonds or sleek blacks representing spades and clubs. The evening will celebrate the resilience, dedication, and commitment that make our local business community so special.

Returning for its second year, the Dessert Dash Fireworks Fundraiser will add an exciting and meaningful element to the evening. Guests will have the opportunity to participate in this fun fundraiser while helping support the community's fireworks celebration. Last year's Dessert Dash was a tremendous success, raising $10,228 toward the fireworks fund!

The banquet provides an opportunity to gather with fellow business owners, community leaders, and friends while recognizing the people and businesses that help make the Bryan area a great place to live, work, and do business.
