CCHS Annual Holiday Celebration Dinner is Sun. Dec. 8
Celebrate the Holidays with Us!
Make your reservations now to celebrate with us at the Champaign County Historical Society’s Annual Holiday Celebration Dinner, Sunday, December 8, at BrownRidge Hall, 220 E. Court St., Urbana (the VFW building).

The fun will begin with a social hour at 5 p.m. A delicious dinner, at 6 p.m., will be served, buffet style, by In Good Taste Catering, featuring chicken and ham. And a dessert bar! Water, tea, and lemonade will be provided, and we’ll have a cash bar for other refreshments.

Make your reservations here, at $25 per person. Or you may make your reservations in person at the museum. In either case, reservations are due by December 2.

At the dinner you can place bids in a silent auction, to support the Historical Society. Auction items will include the creations of Oktoberfest craft vendors. Also during the evening, we’ll update you on the capital improvement project of the CCHS Museum and other plans for the upcoming year.
