The Atoka Area Chamber of Commerce traded business casual for 'Run for the Roses' finery on Saturday, April 18, as the community gathered for the 2026 Annual Gala. The Kentucky Derby-themed evening transformed the venue into a scene of classic elegance, draped in roses and filled with the spirited energy of Atoka’s thriving business community.
Guests embraced the theme with sophisticated style, as the room blossomed with a sea of elegant fascinators and widebrimmed hats. The evening featured a lively game of 'Heads or Tails' and both silent and live auctions, all aimed at supporting the Chamber’s mission to advocate for local commerce.
The heart of the event remained the recognition of excellence, as the Chamber honored the businesses and leaders who have shaped the region’s growth over the past year.
