Table Centerpiece

A beloved tradition of our Annual Awards and Dinner Meetings, every year our Chamber members reserve the opportunity to create a unique centerpiece to be displayed on one of the dinner tables during the event. As seating is not assigned, attendees often pick their table by the centerpiece that they like the best, in hopes that at the end of the night, they’ll be going home with it as a door prize.

Creating a centerpiece gives you the opportunity to show off to our membership — so show us what you can do, reserve a centerpiece spot today! To reserve a chance to create a Table Centerpiece, please contact the Chamber office at 740-593-9353 or email admin@athenschamber.com.

Thank you to the businesses who have already volunteered to provide a centerpiece!

Members have created all kinds of centerpieces for us over the years. Check out some examples from the past few events:
