Agricultural Recognition Banquet 2015

The Agribusiness & Bioscience Committee, co-chaired by Christi Miller of Boone Electric Cooperative and Scott Tipton of Atkins, Inc. would like to invite your business to sponsor a table for the 56th Annual Columbia Chamber of Commerce Agricultural Recognition Banquet.

As is tradition for this event, Columbia businesses host a table for $200 for four of their employees to enjoy a dinner with four members of the Boone County agricultural community.  Businesses also have a basic sponsorship opportunity, $100 for two of their employees and two members of the agricultural community.  This year’s banquet will be held on Tuesday, March 17, 2015 at Hilton Garden Inn.  The evening consists of entertainment, fellowship and networking as well as the presentation of the $1,000 Don Day Agribusiness & Bioscience Scholarship to a Boone County high school senior, recognition of the 2015 Agriculturalist of the Year, and honoring our Friend of Youth award recipients.
