I snapped a LOT of pictures at the Chamber Banquet Saturday night.  Here are a few:

There were so many tables I couldn’t fit them all in one picture!

Tomorrow I’ll have a slideshow of most of the tables up close so you can get a look at their fantastic presentations.

The Liberal H.O.G.’s were in charge of security   Actually they volunteered to take the tickets as people came in!

Rick Brenneman, Rozelle Webb & Larry Howell had a few words for the diners before they could eat…

Everyone enjoyed visiting with friends, walking around looking at the table presentations and choosing where they would sit.

I’ll have MANY more pictures from Saturday night’s Banquet in upcoming OzzBlogs!
