The Greater CWC Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Programs is excited to announce the Annual Gala will take place from 5:30 pm to 9 pm, on Aug. 17, at the Stone River Event Hall on the Congaree River in West Columbia.

The annual event is a celebration of the businesses, tourism and economic growth of the Greater CWC community.

This year Small and Large Business of the Year will be recognized. The Citizen of the Year, Lifetime Achievement and the Inaugural CWC Spirit Award will also be presented.
The Gala is being touted as an “Un” Gala, as the environment will be extremely casual, with 80’s music and food that recognizes the tastes of our community, including the State Award winning Shrimp and Grits from Signature Catering, the Dupre’ Catering Lexington County Pickleburger and Cayce-West Columbia’s Always Original Bakery’s specifically designed deserts.

Earlier in the day, the Chamber will host the Community Expo and Career Fair
