Former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz to speak at Kendallville Chamber banquet

TICKET SALES AT RECORD NUMBERS
 
The Kendallville Area Chamber of Commerce has reservations securing over 40% of the tickets for its annual banquet featuring Lou Holtz, Executive Director Anita Shepherd announced today.
 
In just over two weeks of sales, ticket reservations for this year’s banquet exceeded the total in attendance at last year’s event.  “We anticipated that there would be a lot of excitement throughout the area, but the response has been tremendous and we haven’t even implemented our advertising campaign,” Shepherd said.  The Chamber plans to launch its regional advertising and marketing campaign on March 1. 
 
Tickets to the annual banquet are limited and are available to purchase through the Kendallville Area Chamber of Commerce’s web site, www.kendallvillechamber.com.  Tickets are $69 for members and $89 for non-members and will include access to the event, dinner and dessert.  All employees of member businesses receive member benefits and can purchase tickets at the discounted rate through a ticket drive organized by their company. 
 
Sponsorship opportunities for the event are still available.  A VIP reception will be offered to major sponsors, allowing direct interaction with Lou Holtz and an autographed, framed picture with the coach.  Several local businesses, including Shepherd’s Buick, Pontiac, GMC; Kraft Foods, Frick Lumber, Lutheran Life Villages, Parkview Noble Hospital, Goeglein’s Catering/Kendallville Event Center, and Day 6 Design have signed on to sponsor the annual banquet.
 
The event will be on Thursday, April 22, 2010 at the Kendallville Event Center.  For more information visit www.kendallvillechamber.com or call 260-347-1554.
