On Friday night, the Edmond Chamber of Commerce held their annual awards banquet in the ballroom at UCO. It was a great facility for the event and I was amazed at how well attended it was despite the fact that it was a make-up date due to inclement weather in past weeks.

UCO has such a cool logo covering the wall at the entrance to the Nigh Center, that I couldn’t resist getting a shot of it.

The invocation. I know it’s simple and basic, but I really like this picture.

Band of the year. Okay, not really, but they were really good. Check out the trumpeter’s face, giving it his all!

It was a great atmosphere… Everyone was excited about the awards and the direction of the Chamber. And the food was great! Thanks, Chamber, for saving a spot for me at the dinner table.

I know what you’re thinking… “Why didn’t Prints Charming Photography get any awards?!” I’ll answer that for you. It seems that we weren’t even in the running due to some technicality (i.e. not being chamber members until January, 2007). We’ll keep you posted for next year, but thanks for your strong support. =)
