Hayden Happenings

Enjoy all the Hayden Chamber has to offer! By Erna Rhinehart.

Biggest party in Hayden set for April 18

It’s a super laid back party to celebrate a year of Chamber fun. Held in an airport hangar, the Chamber’s Annual Banquet and Awards Ceremony includes a no host bar staffed by Daanen’s Deli, food catered by Chomper Café, a short awards ceremony, a silent and live auction and dancing to The Rhythm Dawgs, one of the best dance bands in the region. It’s all set for Saturday, April 18 from 5:30 to 10pm. Due to limited space, only 140 tickets are available at $40. It’s expected to sell out so get your tickets early. The highlight of this year’s auction will be the unveiling of the Hayden Lost Luggage Trunk which will be packed full of quality surprise items. For tickets send an email to info@haydenchamber.org or call 208.772.1185.

Awards will honor the accomplishments and contributions of area citizens and businesses for their work in the H.A.Y.D.E.N. Award categories including, Human Rights, Aerospace, Youth, Distinguished Citizen, Education and New or Noteworthy Business. Nominations are now being accepted in all categories and nomination forms are available on the Chamber website. We encourage citizens to take a few minutes to nominate a colleague, boss, employee, volunteer, student, retiree or someone that has helped to make Hayden the wonderful community it is.
