The Ozark Gateway Region will host its 2025 Annual Banquet at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 29, at Next Door, located at 207 S. Main St. in Cave City.
This year’s event is being held in Cave City to recognize and support communities affected by tornadoes on March 14 and flooding in April. Organizers say the banquet will acknowledge ongoing recovery efforts and the resilience of residents throughout the region.
Dalaney Thomas (pictured), director of Arkansas Tourism, is scheduled to deliver the keynote address. Thomas is expected to provide updates on statewide tourism initiatives and offer a look ahead to developments planned for 2025.
The event will include organizational updates, announcements, and opportunities for attendees to connect with community members and leaders. Reserved tables are available upon request.
“This banquet is not only a chance to look ahead, but also to honor the strength of our communities,” said Cathy Drew, executive director of the Ozark Gateway Region.
