Big money and the early 20th century invaded the Williamson County Expo Center last Saturday.
On May 21, the Expo Center hosted the Greater Taylor Chamber of Commerce’s Casino Night Gala. Attendees tried their luck at several casino games to vie for prizes at the end of the night.
“It was so much fun. I think that people had fun,” said Tia Rae Stone, Chamber president. “People were up and around enjoying the night. It was a success as far as the Chamber was concerned, so thanks to all the people who attended and all the people who sponsored.”
The affair had a 1920s theme, and many attendees dressed the part with formal attire reminiscent of the era. Las Vegas-style slot machines and tables with blackjack, craps, roulette and Texas Hold’em were scattered through-out the Expo hall. After the games closed, chips were cashed for tickets to enter drawings for trips, cash and more valued up to $1,000. A silent auction had 50 items ranging in value from $25 to $650.
“We feel very, very pleased with the results of it,” added Stone.
