POSTPONED! Awards Gala at Vero Beach Clay Shooting Sports
Date and Time
Thursday Nov 5, 2026
6:00 PM - 8:30 PM EST
Dear Chamber Members, Sponsors, and Guests,
Due to recent severe weather and flooding throughout Indian River County, the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce has made the difficult decision to postpone our Annual Awards Gala, originally scheduled for November 5, 2026, at Vero Beach Clay Shooting Sports.
Our primary concern is our guests' safety and comfort, especially given the saturated grass parking areas and unpaved access road leading to the venue.
The Annual Awards Gala has been rescheduled for Friday, January 8, 2027, at Vero Beach Clay Shooting Sports. Your ticket will be transferred to this new date.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and continued support.
We look forward to celebrating with you in the new year!
Warm regards,
Andrea Kofstad
President
Indian River County Chamber of Commerce
