Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting & Banquet
This year we are recognizing the roles we all play in building a stronger community. Don your favorite hat (literal or figurative) and join us for an evening of good company, great food, and heartfelt appreciation at the Chamber’s Annual Meeting & Banquet. Each of us wears many hats as business owners, community leaders, volunteers, and neighbors. This event is our chance to tip our hats to the people and partnerships that make our community thrive.
The 153rd Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting & Banquet will be held on Saturday, January 24, sponsored by Pacific Power, at the Clatsop County Fair & Expo Center Exhibit Hall. Catering will be provided by Tres Bros Nicaraguan. Registration will open this month. Tickets will be available online soon. Keep an eye on your email inbox or oldoregon.com/banquet for more information.
Join us as we thank our outgoing board members, welcome our new ones, and recap the Chamber’s past year. The evening concludes with the much-anticipated announcement of our community service awards recipients and other special recognitions.
Your chamber is proud to have served our business community since 1873, and we look forward to many more years of promoting and supporting our growing membership.

Donate a prize:
As part of our Many Hats Annual Meeting & Banquet, we invite Chamber members to don their “community hat” by contributing a gift basket or prize for our raffle! Raffle ticket sales support our Community Service Awards, helping us recognize the people and partnerships that make our community thrive. To keep the program moving smoothly, there will be a maximum number of drawings. This means we may group multiple member items together as a single prize or stop accepting prizes once we reach our target.
If you’d like to contribute, please contact Barbi@oldoregon.com to let us know what to expect, and drop off your item at the Chamber office by January 9. Every business that donates will be recognized at the event, on the event website, and in a post on the Chamber’s social media pages. Thank you for helping us tip our hats to the community!
The Wine Draw
The ever-popular WINE DRAW will be available during the banquet, too. Purchase a chance for a blind pull for a bottle of Oregon wine - most are award winners from our crab festival wine competition.
Wine may not be opened at the event, or removed from this area until you leave. Sorry, no exchanges.
$20 per chance in the draw.
Wine value average is $39, with the lowest at $22, and the highest retailing for $80.
