Newport chamber planning gala event

The Greater Newport Area Chamber of Commerce is planning its first gala event since 2019. The annual gala has historically brought together the community to celebrate local businesses and raise funds for economic development activities.

Leading the chamber's gala committee are Jake Abbott of Ruby Creek Resort and Jackie Bilaski of STCU.

“We are excited to bring back this important event,” Bilaski said. “In the past, the annual gala has been a fun opportunity to come together, dress up, and support the local community. At the 2024 Annual Gala, we will have a keynote speaker, games, auctions, and dancing. The gala theme will be announced soon, and I can tell you that you won’t want to miss this event."
