The 4th Annual KACC Awards Banquet had the largest turnout ever

Kirbyville, Tx- Thursday night, March 6th was the 4th Annual Kirbyville Area Chamber of Commerce Awards Banquet and it was easily the largest crowd ever. In fact, KACC Treasurer Patti Greer said that an additional 6-8 tables were brought in to seat those in attendance. A wonderful 'problem' to have!

The ceremony was held at the Gateway Tabernacle South of Kirbyville. Former Gateway Pastor Danny and Donna Lewis were in attendance. Also in attendance were Newton County Sheriff Colton Havard and wife Jacee, among many others.

Stephanie Davison, Pecan Grove Asst Exec Director was kind enough to provide photos of the event.

Organization of the Year, Miss Kirbyville Scholarship Pageant

Business of the Year, Nineteen 26 Nutrition

City Employee of the Year, Bryce Powell

Educator of the Year, Amanda Price

Citizen of the Year, Leah Richardson, unfortunately had a prior engagement so there is no photo of her receiving her award.

Aaron Baca Production put on a Magic Show, and Gateway Tabernacle provided a wonderful lasagna dinner complete with green beans and garlic bread.

There was a cake auction held that raised approx $2,500, and there was 25 to 30 door prizes that included a Coleman grill, Valero gift cards, Lowe's gift cards, oil changes, Earrings from Twisted Chandelier, flower arrangements from Two Sisters Florist and Mansfield Petals, and much much more.

New Pastor of Gateway Tabernacle, Shane Mitchell was given a brisket board in appreciation for his help in putting on the event
