KVB 2025 Annual Banquet

Esteemed Friends and Colleagues,

Turn the page to an evening of camaraderie, celebration, and storytelling as we gather for the KVB Annual Banquet. This year’s theme, "Turning Pages – Ketchikan Tourism Story," pays homage to the tales we have woven together and the unwritten chapters that lie ahead.

PROGRAM OF EVENTS

📖 Six o’clock in the evening – The Prologue
An hour of libations and lively conversation, where old friendships are rekindled and new acquaintances are made.

📖 Seven o’clock – The Feast
A banquet fit for the pages of a grand novel, where laughter and good company are the evening’s finest courses.

📖 Seven to Nine o’clock – A Tribute to Excellence
We shall pause to recognize those whose dedication and ingenuity have shaped our industry, interwoven with literary trivia and reflections on our shared story.

ATTIRE

Arrive as a figure from the pages of literature—be it a tragic hero, a witty heroine, a villain of great intrigue, or an adventurer bound for distant shores. From the grandeur of Austen’s salons to the daring of Twain’s riverboats, let your attire tell a tale of its own. Prizes shall be bestowed upon those whose ensembles most captivate the imagination.

HONORS & ACCOLADES

As every great tale has its champions, so too shall we honor those who have distinguished themselves in our industry. With awards in various categories and prizes of note, we shall toast the ingenuity, perseverance, and passion that have filled the pages of this year’s story.

RESERVATIONS

Do not delay in securing your place at the table. Tickets are now available, and we invite you to join us for an evening that shall be recounted for years to come.

May this gathering be a chapter well worth remembering.

We look forward to seeing you there.
