Treasured collections of the past come to life for one monumental “Night at the Museum” Wednesday, December 5 at the Marcus Whitman Hotel. The theme for the 2018 Annual Community Awards Banquet, presented by the Walla Walla Valley Chamber of Commerce, will be on display throughout the evening and in the very popular Table Decorating Contest. We have some wonderful surprises in store for our guests!

Featured at the event is the presentation of several rare and exquisite awards, including the Man and Woman of the Year (Awards of Merit), as well as the Spirit of Excellence and Ambassador of the Year. We’re excited to once again recognize our Hometown Heroes with awards to the Educator of the Year, Firefighter of the Year, and Law Enforcement Office of the Year. Walla Walla University, Whitman College and Walla Walla Community College will also recognize their outstanding individuals within their communities.

The Annual Banquet is a showcase for the Walla Walla Valley’s citizens, organizations and businesses. Tickets to the celebratory event include an evening of holiday entertainment and festivities, including a delicious formal diner, two drink tokens, games, live and silent auctions.
