Farmers Appreciation Dinner Update

Farmers Appreciation Dinner

The Agriculture Committee at the Sylvester Worth County Chamber is excited to announce that we are busy planning the Farmers Appreciation Dinner for 2021. With this being said, we need your help. Without help from our community sponsors, this dinner would not be possible. We ask that you consider becoming a sponsor of this event where we get to highlight the lifeblood of our community, agriculture.

We would like to thank the below sponsors for sponsoring this year's dinner:

50/50 Raffle

We are so excited to kick off the Sylvester-Worth County Chamber of Commerce’s 2022 50/50 Raffle! 

Firstly, we would like to thank everyone who participated in last year’s raffle! It is due to this participation that the Chamber will be able to provide scholarships to six Worth County High School CTAE 2022 graduates! We would like to be able to provide even more scholarships via this year’s raffle! 

Just like last year’s raffle, we will be hoping to reach a goal of $20,000! That means one person will win up to $10,000! Our portion of the raffle will go to CTAE scholarships at Worth County High School and as well as going back into our Shop Local program! The tickets will be $20 apiece and will be sold from now to December 15th, 2022! The tickets can be purchased at the Sylvester-Worth County Chamber of Commerce! If you have any questions please call 229-776-7718 or email us at info@swcountychamber.com .
