Fairfield Chamber Banquet is Oct. 14
The Annual Awards Banquet is the premier annual celebration event for the Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce, its Chamber members and the Fairfield community. The 2021 Banquet is sponsored by MidWestOne Bank and will be held on Thursday, Oct. 14 at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center.
Reservations can be made by calling the Chamber at 641-472-2111.
Every award the Chamber gives recognizes outstanding investment and innovation achieved by Fairfield business and community institutions. Honored achievements include capital improvements, community investment, innovation, and lifelong accomplishment.
The Annual Awards Banquet evening culminates with the announcement of the Citizen of the Year Award. These honorees are selected by previous winners and are recognized for their outstanding volunteer service which significantly contributed to the betterment of community life in Fairfield.
The 2021 Annual Awards Banquet theme is Black & White, so guests are encouraged to match their attire accordingly.
Nominations: 2021 Annual Awards Banquet recipients have already been determined due to the 2020 Annual Awards Banquet being postponed until 2021. Nominations will resume next year for the 2022 Annual Awards Banquet.
