The Benton/West City Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner sets sail on Thursday, February 12th, 2026, and promises to be an evening to remember. Join us for a first-class voyage featuring fine dining, cocktails, and live entertainment as we reflect on 2025—surrounded by friends, family, and the leaders who help steer our community forward.
