The Linton-Stockton Chamber's annual dinner and awards banquet is scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 21 at the Linton Elks Lodge.

Our speaker this year will be Captain Charles LaSota from NSWC Crane. Doors open at 6 p.m. and dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. This is open to the public. Cost per person is $22. A table for eight can be reserved for $150. The Chamber will be recognizing our Business of the Year and our Citizen of the Year. Tickets for this event are available at the Chamber office.

Our Chamber will again have a booth at the Indianapolis Boat, Sport and Travel Show at the State Fair Grounds. Our booth is located in the Pepsi Coliseum. This year's Boat Show is scheduled from Feb. 19 - 28.

The Chamber will be promoting outdoor recreation in the Linton area. If you plan to make a trip to the Boat Show, please be sure to stop and say hello to our volunteers working the booth.

March 6 will be our annual Spring Expo at the Linton Armory. We will have a variety of vendors available to help you with a number of projects around the house.

Watch for details as this date approaches.

March 13 will be the first of our 2010 Freedom Festival activities -- with the Freedom Festival Scholarship Pageant to be held at the Linton-Stockton High School Auditeria.

We will crown the 2010 Freedom Festival Queen and her court. This is open to any senior girl at Linton-Stockton High School or any senior girl living in the Linton-Stockton School Corporation.

Additional details on the pageant will be available later in January.

Just one of the benefits of being a member of the Linton-Stockton Chamber of Commerce is the opportunity to take advantage of member-only discounts offered by other L-S Chamber of Commerce members. Through Jan. 8, Lewellyn Marketing & Safety is offering End Quantity Pricing (bulk price even if you order the minimum) on all promotional products in stock and great discounts on safety apparel and safety gear. This offer is good on imprinted or blank items so don't forget the potential for re-sell.
