Local Business Leaders Celebrate at Annual Chamber of Commerce Gala
The 2025 Annual Lexington Chamber of Commerce Gala was a tremendous success, with over 260 people in attendance. Partnering with Wilson Farm and the Inn at Hastings Park, the event was held in the Greenhouses at Wilson Farm. This year’s Gala featured a decidedly Lex250 theme complete with Lexington Minute Men Company members, The William Diamond Juniors Fife & Drum Corp, and a beautiful Lex250 ice carving. This year’s Gala also highlighted Wilson Farm’s 140th annual harvest.
The event was primarily organized by new Chamber board member Maija Sawyer, new executive director Olivia Kelley, and new board member Shiobanne Karampekios from the Inn at Hastings Park. The program was hosted by Chamber board chair and vice chair Jim Shaw and Martha Sevigny.
The highlight of the evening was the beautiful and delicious array of food presented by Wilson Farm Executive Chef Raymond Ost and his team. Chef Ost presented a spectacular selection of delicious treats, from savories to sweets and carving stations.
New board members were elected, and four awards were also presented during the evening.
Funds raised at this year’s Gala will help to support Chamber of Commerce activities such as the popular Summer Concert Series. The Chamber also used some of the funds to support the 2025 Lexington Patriots Day Parade, presenting a check for $2,500 to members of the Town Celebrations Committee. The Chamber of Commerce enthusiastically encourages local businesses to support this year’s parade. There is a great need for financial support and for a certain donation, you can have a banner in the parade.
A special thank you goes out to the several companies and individuals who sponsored the event through generous contributions. The Chamber is grateful for your support.
