The 2023 Bowie Chamber of Commerce Banquet sparkled with its “Denim and Diamonds” theme Monday night as the community center filled with about 225 guests celebrating the 2022 accomplishments.
The evening opened with hors d’oeuvre and socializing in the big hall, then the curtains were drawn back and guests poured into the banquet hall to get their first look at all the beautifully decorated tables.
Fresh flowers, sparkling lights, glitter and diamond accents filled the tables. Once more chamber members were invited to decorate the tables to showcase their businesses.
The best decorated table awards were presented in the first-ever three-way tie. Those receiving the award were JCC Builders, Sue Swint Realty and Kory Hooks Auto Group.
