If you’ve never attended the FORWARD Worthington Extravaganza, think of it as equal parts celebration, connection, and unexpected fun—with just enough structure to keep things moving and just enough surprise to keep you smiling.
This isn’t a stuffy banquet or a long evening of speeches. The Extravaganza is FORWARD Worthington’s annual way of bringing members, businesses, and community partners together to celebrate the year behind us, the people who make things happen, and the momentum ahead.
And this year? We’re turning it up a notch.
What the Extravaganza Is All About
At its heart, the Extravaganza is about community.
It’s where Chamber members, business owners, community leaders, and partners come together in one room—not to sell to each other, but to connect, laugh, and enjoy being part of something bigger. You’ll see familiar faces, meet new ones, and walk away with a stronger sense of what FORWARD Worthington is building alongside its members.
You can expect:
- A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere
- Plenty of time to mingle and network
- Moments of recognition and reflection
- And a whole lot of personality woven throughout the night
This Year’s Twist: Game Show Energy 🎤✨
This year’s Extravaganza comes with a game show theme, which means things are about to get lively.
Without giving too much away, expect playful competition, audience participation, and those “wait… did that just happen?” moments that make the night memorable. You don’t need to be loud or competitive to enjoy it—just ready to laugh, cheer a little, and maybe be surprised.
Think less formal awards ceremony and more interactive fun with your business community.
Let’s Talk About the Food 🍷🍽️
Because yes, that matters.
We’re thrilled to be catered by Round Lake Winery, bringing their signature flavors and thoughtful presentation to the evening. It’s the kind of meal that encourages you to slow down, enjoy the moment, and actually savor dinner instead of rushing through it.
Good food, good company, and a glass raised to community? That’s a win.
Why You Should Be There
If you’ve ever wondered what FORWARD Worthington really feels like in action—this is it.
The Extravaganza is where relationships deepen, stories are shared, and the work we do together gets celebrated in a way that feels human and fun. You’ll leave reminded that being part of FORWARD Worthington isn’t just about benefits or programs—it’s about belonging.
So come ready to connect. Come ready to laugh. And come ready for a night that’s a little different than what you might expect.
We can’t wait to see you there.
