Autumn Glory Fest Reception Tickets Available


Sep. 18, 2008

The Garrett County Chamber of Commerce is now selling tickets for its 41st annual Autumn Glory Festival Kick-Off Reception, which will be held Wednesday, Oct. 8, at the Lodge at Wisp Resort.
Along with the announcement of the 2008 Honorary Golden Ambassador, the evening will include the coronation of the Autumn Glory King and Queen and their court, and will recognize the festival sponsors.

Musical entertainment will be provided by a local band, Boathouse.

Long & Foster Realtors is the sponsor of the reception, and Clear Mountain Bank is the sponsor of the music by Boathouse.

“This fundraising event provides an elegant, yet lively atmosphere to kick off the Autumn Glory Festivities,” said Charlie Ross, president and CEO of the Garrett County Chamber of Commerce. “Please come out and support this wonderful opportunity to celebrate the beginning of Autumn Glory.”

Each attendee of the reception receives a collectible Autumn Glory pin and Golden Ambassador pass. The pass entitles the holder to priority seating on the bleachers near the reviewing stand for the Grand Feature Parade on Saturday, Oct. 11.

The evening will begin with a 6 p.m. cocktail hour. The sit-down dinner will be served at 7 p.m. The reception ticket includes an open bar, hors d’oeuvres, dinner, and entertainment. Admission to the event is $125 for a single ticket, and $195 for a couple.

The deadline to purchase tickets is Oct. 2. Persons may purchase tickets by telephoning 301-387-4386, ext. 16, or via e-mail at jessica@garrettchamber.com.
