“Chamber’s Got Talent” is the title of a gala evening filled with entertainment, fellowship, networking opportunities, food and drink that will take place with doors opening at 5 p.m. Oct. 28 at the Gateway Convention Center in Collinsville.

Hosted by the Troy/Maryville/St. Jacob/Marine Chamber of Commerce, there will be performances from talented guests who are members of that organization in a variety of genres, plus a live auction, silent auction, raffle and refreshments. 

A special segment of the evening will be set aside to honor the memory of Millie Belobraydic who passed away at the age of 89 in July 2020 and was very instrumental in the development of Anderson Hospital in Maryville, her hometown, having been there when ground was broken for it in 1974 then wheeling in the very first patient three years later.

To be honored with awards also are the large and small businesses of the year, non-profit business of the year and chamber member of the year.
