WILMINGTON — In an effort to honor individuals who have made significant contributions to the community, the Clinton County Convention and Visitors Bureau (CCCVB), in collaboration with the Wilmington-Clinton County Chamber of Commerce, invites the public to a night of community celebration this Friday.

The evening will commence with the CCCVB’s Annual Meeting, followed by the eagerly-awaited announcement of the winners for the 2023 Clinton County Community Champions Awards, affectionately known as the “C4” Awards. The event is scheduled to take place at the historic Murphy Theatre, with the program starting at 7:30 p.m.

Those interested can elevate their experience with a VIP dinner hosted at the Fraternal Order of the Eagles starting at 5 p.m. VIP ticket holders, with limited availability, will enjoy dinner, an open bar, and exclusive access to the program and after-party at the Murphy Theatre.

Following the ceremony, all ticket holders are invited to the after-party celebration at the Murphy Theatre. The theme for the night is “Masquerade,” so attendees are encouraged to dress to impress. The after-party promises to be a lively affair, featuring a DJ, dancing, a photo booth, a mask contest, and concessions at Charlie’s.

Tickets are currently on sale at www.themurphytheatre.org, with general admission priced at $10, including access to the program and after-party. VIP tickets are available for $50 and provide an all-inclusive experience. Ticket will call opens at the Murphy Theatre at 6 p.m. Friday, and VIP ticket holders should present their tickets at the Eagles for dinner entry.
