What better way to chase away the rainy days blues than to give you an update on where we are with Chamber Day 2023. (Well, it works for me at least.)

The event is “only” six weeks away. I know that can sometimes seem like an eternity but also sometimes time flies more quickly than you think. So if you’re thinking about signing up for an aspect of the event – and we’ve got multiple ways to get you involved – don’t wait too long because some things, like spots on boat or seats at a specific Chamber Eve table, are limited.

The boats typically fill a bit more slowly because people need to make sure they can clear their daytime schedule to make the dives and do the walking tour of the Chamber. But Chamber Eve is filling faster than in previous years and we’re already at 50% capacity. Just to be clear, once we hit 300 diners we’ll be at capacity and that will be it. (And there’s no way for us to do a waiting list.) So take a look below, see how you’d like to sit with, and secure a seat at that table before they’re all gone.
