The annual ball and auction is essential in funding the chamber's efforts throughout the year.  The 2009 event will be held on Saturday, January 31. 

The Glenwood Springs Chamber Resort Association held its 2008 Annual Ball on Saturday February 2, at the Hotel Colorado. This year’s gala was dubbed “The Madhatter’s Ball.”

The “Alice in Wonderland” themed evening included a silent and live auction, dinner, the presentation of the Citizen of the Year Award to Bill Slattery, casino-style gaming and dancing to the Atomic Brass Project, an 11-piece jazz band.

Over 300 people attended the event.
