Event to include food, raffle plus live music entertainment
(Seguin) – Tickets are still available for this year’s Seguin-Guadalupe County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Banquet. The event is scheduled for Wednesday night at the Seguin Coliseum.
Gloria Sasser, the publicity chair for the event, says after two years, the chamber is grateful that it can once again host the night of recognition.
“This is certainly our 33rd Annual Awards Banquet in which we honor members of the community who have had some community service. We have several awards, our community service, the academy merit award, corporate, community service, youth leadership so just honoring some members of the community who are active in our community and who certainly make life better in Seguin,” said Sasser.
Sasser says not only will the night include an awards presentation, but it will also feature some live music entertainment.
“We have an exciting entertainment program. Carlitos Miranda, who is a Tejano artist, will be performing along with the famous Seguin High School Mariachi Matadors and so we are really excited about them being there and our keynote speakers will be Sam Guzman, of TAMACC (Texas Association of Mexican Chambers of Commerce) and Julian Avares with the Texas Workforce Commission. They will be presenting an interesting program and we are really happy to see that. Mayor (Donna) Dodgen will be welcoming everyone. So, it should be a very exciting and interesting program. I think people will enjoy the presentation,” said Sasser.
Sasser says the chamber in conjunction with the banquet will also be announcing the winners of its annual raffle. The winning tickets will be announced on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
“The first prize is a Bersa Pistol and then there’s a couple of pistols and then a Yeti cooler and gift certificates to the Nair Bar – there’s a one, two, three liquor and wine baskets, a portable table grill, a Home gift card and a pressure cooker and also probably an across favorite a Dallas Cowboys baseball cap and shirt and memorabilia,” said Sasser.
Tickets for the 11-prize raffle are still available. Individuals do not need to be present to win. Raffle tickets are $10 each or three for $25.
The banquet begins with a social hour from 6 to 7 p.m. followed by dinner at 7 p.m.
Banquet tickets which include a meal are $40 each. Both banquet and raffle tickets can be purchased in advance at the Hispanic Chamber Office between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. However before stopping by, individuals are asked to call and secure their tickets at 830-372-3151. The office is located at 971 W. Court St. A limited number of banquet tickets will be sold at the door.
