State of the City Address 2024

Written by Lebanon Wilson Chamber Marketing on . Posted in Chamber Blog, Chamber Key Events.

The Lebanon Wilson County Chamber of Commerce hosted City of Lebanon, TN – Government Mayor Rick Bell, on April 18, for the State of the City Address at Capitol Theatre. From the future developments of restaurants to the quality of life supported by our local hospitals & first responders, Mayor Bell painted a picture of a thriving city. With a recently lowered crime rate & positive growth as a top priority, it is evident that our city is headed in a great direction.

Mayor Bell extended his gratitude to our local business owners for their unwavering support of our economy. Their dedication underscores the importance of of nurturing our local businesses, which are the backbone of our community.

Bell told an anecdote about Earl Majors, a Castle Heights graduate, paired with a baseball from the City Museum, signed by Majors. Majors signed the baseball in 1965 after scoring the first homerun on our current field. What does a baseball have to do with the current state of the city? Mayor Bell discussed exciting plans to meet with City Council regarding a phase II of the sports complex, highlighting the need for expansion. With only one field currently serving 190 baseball/softball teams, the approval of a second phase is not only a want but a necessity.

Thank you Mayor Bell & City Council in their efforts to shape a brighter future for Lebanon.

We had a magical evening at the 17th Annual Imagination Dinner held last night at the Farm Bureau Exposition Center. Thank you to everyone who joined us in making a difference for children in our community by supporting our cause. Your contributions will go a long way by providing the gift of free books to children from birth until 5 years old.

We loved seeing the creativity unfold as guests selected their group theme, decorated their tables and dressed accordingly. Themes ranged from the Magic School Bus to One Hunrded and One Dalmations.

Each group selected one person to be their “Wacky Waiter” for the evening. Their antics and dedication earned tips for everything, from silverware to drink refills, all in the spirit of fundraising & fun. This year, we added an extra layer of fun to the Wacky Waiter format: a competition where the waiter with the most tips was awarded a trophy. It is easy to spot the winner in these pictures!

The evening would not have been complete without our live & silent autions. Thank you to everyone who contributed, placed bids and helped make the auctions a success. Some of our featured auction items were a 4 Night Stay to Runaway on 30A donated by Kenny Sallis & Kellie Sallis, delicious cheesecake made by Judge Barry Tatum, and Dinner for 6 from Wildberry Cafe & Catering.
