D
estin Chamber’s Holiday Party and Awards Gala was
held on December 13 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton
in Destin-Miramar Beach to honor community
members that have been outstanding throughout
the year. This beautiful location was designed as the fi rst all-suites
hotel in Destin with the perfect location across from the beach and
has a newly renovated atrium with seating and bars. Hosted by
Fort Walton Beach Medical Center and Twin Cities Hospital, the
awards were presented by Chamber Chairman Bob Perry.
The elegant evening started with drinks in the open atrium with
holiday decor and black-tie attire and moved into the ballroom
for dinner, presentations, and awards. The room was fi lled with a
buffet style dinner, with options galore for appetizers, dinner, and
desserts. With live entertainment by the Moos Brothers, the dance
fl oor fi lled quickly as the band took stage.
The Chamber noted a special thank you for entertainment
sponsor, Destin Commons and cocktail napkin sponsor, Okaloosa
Gas.
It was quite an evening to remember with men and women
dressed up to celebrate the holidays and loved ones’ successes
and even a little rain didn’t stop the great turnout and joy of this
stunning event.
