Annual Celebration

Chamber's Annual Community Celebration!

This annual celebration is one of Cortez’s most established traditions. The event brings an esteemed group of community members together for one night to appreciate and celebrate with outstanding businesses or individuals who are making a significant impact on our lives. The Cortez Chamber of Commerce annual Community Awards Evening is shaping up to be a thrilling event with a new theme and new, exciting awards.  This year’s event will present a dynamic and unique line up, featuring an expanded networking reception and shorter program.

The celebration will take place on Saturday, January 28th at the Main Street Brewery. Tickets are $30 each. The theme is “Denim and Diamonds” so plan to kick up your heels and enjoy a fun and festive evening with friends, both old and new at this premier community event.
