The Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce has announced the nominees for its upcoming 2021 Chamber Gala.
Voting for nominees is officially open and runs through March 31. Voting is open to Chamber members only, with links to the voting survey found at the Chamber’s website (fhchamber.com), as well as on its Facebook page.
This year’s gala will be hosted on the Chamber’s outdoor patio on Friday, April 23, beginning at 5 p.m. The Chamber is located at 16837 E. Palisades Blvd.
The theme for this year’s gala is “2020 Rewind.”
“We all had so many holidays or days of celebration interrupted or missed in 2020, so let’s celebrate them all the night of the gala,” reads the announcement. “Dress up in your favorite holiday gear, such as the 4th of July, Christmas, St. Patrick’s Day. Or you can always dress up for an occasion you missed in 2020, such as a graduation, birthday party or wedding.”
