As we move into August, we would love for the citizens of Ponca City and surrounding areas to join us for an unforgettable night at the Marland Mansion for the Chamber’s Party at the Palace on Friday, Aug. 23. As you likely know, every other year the Party at the Palace is the major fundraiser for the Ponca City Area Chamber of Commerce. However, to make the 2024 Party at the Palace, which is a nonsponsorship, nonauction year intriguing, we have decided to add some new twists to this year’s Party at the Palace.
Twist #1: The theme for the 2024 Party at the Place is “Diamonds & Ice.” Add a sparkle to your evening with our unique “Diamonds & Ice” special drinks! We are selling 150 specialty cocktails, and one lucky participant will find a dazzling genuine 1-carat diamond in his/her glass! The remaining cocktails will contain sparkly CZs. Those who purchase a special drink ticket will have a choice of an Old Fashioned or a fruity Giggle Juice, or a mocktail version of either. Each drink will have one large, square ice cube. The ice cube in one drink will have a genuine 1-carat diamond donated by Spray’s Jewelry & Gifts and the 149 others will have 1-carat CZs. Enjoy your drink, then take your ice cube to Brent Buller and his team who will be onsite with their diamond loupes to determine if you have the genuine diamond. It will be so fun to see who walks away with a beautiful, sparkling 1-carat diamond! Thank you to Spray’s for their partnership to provide a unique opportunity this year!
Spray’s Jewelry & Gifts will also have merchandise for sale at the event! Many Ponca Citians have grown up with Spray’s Jewelers as they are a long-time, local jewelry store. In fact, they have been Chamber Investors for over 106 years. Spray’s will have many of their lines of gift items available for sale at the Mansion that night, along with some limited pieces of fine jewelry. Spray’s carries Kendra Scott, Hobo, Fossil, Consuela, several home fragrance lines, watches and gorgeous pieces of estate and fine jewelry. The night of the Party at the Palace they will be offering discounts, so consider taking advantage of any shopping you need to do!
Twist #2: It is so common to hear people say they wished the Chamber would have auction items on a nonauction year. Typically, we have several incredible live-auction items and over 100 silent auction items donated by our amazing business partners. So, by popular demand, the 2024 Party at the Palace will have ten “Date Night”-themed silent auction packages! A few of the “Date Night” packages include a Rusty Barrell Supper Club and Lounge dinner and music date, a steak dinner at Big Fork Ranch date, a City Arts Mural Alley Crawl date, a Rock & Brews VIP concert pass and dinner date, an Oklahoma City concert, hotel and dinner date, an OSU package consisting of several dates and more! Each package will have extras added, so stay tuned for details. Come explore our exclusive selection of 10 Date Night packages, perfect for creating unforgettable memories with your special someone. Bid on romantic dinners, weekend getaways, unique excursions and more! Thank you to several of our incredible business partners who are partnering with us to bring a few silent auction items to our guests!
Twist #3: Rock the night away to 80s music provided by one of our local bands, Band #9. Dance the night away or just enjoy the electrifying sounds of the best 80s hits performed live by this sensational band! You will be transported back to the era of big hair and neon lights.
Party at the Palace Tickets are $50 each, which include heavy hors d’oeuvres from Danny’s BBQ Headquarters catering and two regular drink tickets. Eight tickets and a reserved picnic table are available for $500 and may be purchased at the Chamber Office, 420 E. Grand.
Special Drink Tickets are $25 each – choice of an Old Fashioned or a Giggle Juice. Remember, Special Drink Tickets are limited, so act fast! We only have 150 special drink tickets. Once they are gone, they are gone! Do not miss out on a chance to win a genuine 1-carat diamond sparkler for yourself or your special someone.
