Annual Meeting & Gala 2025/2026 - Derby Theme

Join us as we bring the elevated experience of the beautiful Highlander Hotel to our Annual Gala. We will celebrate our businesses and recognize several for their outstanding achievements. We then move into our Derby theme and will do some horse racing, with many parts of the evening sponsored by our local businesses. Hear the professional DJ play some fantastic music in between the races. Silent auction will happen all evening long.

We start the evening with a Cocktail hour at the Rooftop restaurant bar at Bee & Butter Restaurant. And back on rooftop after the event if you want to continue with friends, new and old.

We will have a best dressed contest for the both the ladies and gents!! Make sure to dress the part, love seeing the hats!!
