Eggnog and Accolades

The 88th Annual Installation and Awards Gala, hosted by the Leesburg Area Chamber of Commerce, was held at the Venetian Garden Center. Local businesses contributed creatively decorated Christmas trees adorned with themed décor, gift cards and other items, which were auctioned to support the chamber’s initiatives. Guests enjoyed a cocktail hour with steel drum music by Carlton Lambert, followed by dinner from Carrabba’s Italian Grill. Speakers included Chamber President and CEO Sandi Moore, Ken Bragg, who led the invocation and Pledge of Allegiance, and emcee Scott Chevalier. Several honors were presented, including the Greg Padgett Citizen of the Year Award to Alan Reisman. Congratulations to all the honorees for their dedication, leadership and continued commitment to the community.
