Spirit of Boone: Boone Area Chamber of Commerce 75th Annual Membership Gathering

Posted By: David Jackson Chamber News,

 

The Boone Area Chamber of Commerce hosted  Spirit of Boone, its 75th Annual Membership Gathering on September 12, 2024 at Appalachian State's Grandview Ballroom. With a crowd of over  350 attendees, the evening served as tribute to the Chamber's 75th year and a fun-filled opportunity for connection and celebration. The highlight of the event was a video presentation that honored the Chamber's nine annual community award winners, each highlighted for career achievements or their efforts on special projects. Outgoing Board of Directors Chair, Heidi Ragan, provided an introduction of incoming chair Mark Gould. The evening was capped with a silent auction and dancing to live music from Boone's-own Pressley Laton Band.


Spirit of Boone was presented by SkyLine/SkyBest with additional event support from Highstreet Insurance & Financial Services, Stacie Pineda Real Estate Group, and STITCH Design Shop/STITCH Dwellings.
