And the winners are…

Granbury Chamber of Commerce

2008 Chamber Awards Banquet -

Granbury movers and shakers filled the banquet hall at DeCordova Bend Estates Friday night as we celebrated our successes for 2008. The James Bond theme brought out the glamour in everyone! Lovely ladies in evening gowns and simple sheik black and white were paired with the dashing gentlemen wearing Texas tuxedos as well as a few George Clooney look a likes in their own classics tuxes.

We dined on Texas classic cuisine, prime rib and grilled shrimp and enjoyed the awards presentation from various chamber members. Entertainment included the live auction, dancing, trying our chances at the gaming tables and a live sketch artist!

Winners for the evening included:
Janice Horack rep. for Cultural Events & Community Education at the Tarleton Langdon Center
Melinda Watson from Advanced Embroidery
Sandy Price from All About Sports
Dr Chris Cheyne from Cheyne Eye Center
The Courtyards at Lake Granbury
Josh from D’Vine Wine of Texas
Billy Wiley from Wiley funeral Home
Thomas G. Myers from Myers Automotive
Julia Pannell for community service
Angela Raines is the outgoing president who won the Director of the year award.

Why do I love Granbury? The community support and involvement in this small town is dynamic. The business support from one to another is awesome. Living in this community always brings out the fun side of life – my hats off to all of the organizers and winners tonight!

Thanks for putting that on here. I was sick and had to let go of my tickets. It was here before the paper came out.

Isn't it great when you live in a town where we have on shorts one day and build a snowman the next
