ROBERTSDALE, Alabama — The Central Baldwin Chamber of Commerce invites you to “Let the Good Times Roll” at its 40th annual banquet Thursday, Jan. 21 at the Baldwin County Coliseum in Robertsdale.

“This is just a great opportunity for our members to enjoy some good food and spend time together,” said chamber director of operations Gail Quezada. “It’s an opportunity to celebrate our accomplishments and look forward to the future.”

This is an upscale evening with a reception and dinner with an estimated attendance of 400.

Included in the program will be a short presentation on the newest Chamber benefit, the “Save Local Now” program which is free for all chamber members, Quezada said.

There will be a 50/50 drawing, along with several drawings for smaller ticket items, including a 32-inch Visio television and a 32-ounce Yeti cup, leading up to a featured raffle drawing for a Henry Golden Boy Military Service Tribute Edition rifle donated by Campbell Hardware in Robertsdale.

Tickets for the rifle, estimated retail value $1,200, are being sold at the Chamber and will be available at the event up until the time of the drawing. Tickets are $5 each or five for $20. You don’t have to be present to win.
