You’re Invited!  Join us for the Yancey County Chamber of Commerce Annual Gala on Tuesday, April 7, at the Burnsville Town Center for an evening under the stars, celebrating our local business community.

This year’s Starry Night theme will feature touches of navy and gold as we gather to recognize the people and organizations who help Yancey County shine. Guests will enjoy a delicious Italian feast from Chamber member Twisted Laurel of Weaverville/Daphne’s Catering, drinks, and plenty of time to connect with fellow business and community leaders.

The Chamber is excited to welcome Danny McIntosh, former Mayor of Burnsville, as the evening’s guest speaker. Known as one of the community’s strongest advocates and storytellers, McIntosh will share reflections on Burnsville and the people who continue to shape its future.

During the evening, we’ll introduce new board members and present four special awards:

• Business of the Year
• Emerging Business of the Year (open three years or less)
• Nonprofit of the Year
• Community Impact Award
