As we move into August, we would love for the citizens of Ponca City and surrounding areas to join us for an unforgettable night at the Marland Mansion for the Chamber’s Party at the Palace on Friday, Aug. 23. As you likely know, every other year the Party at the Palace is the major fundraiser for the Ponca City Area Chamber of Commerce. However, to make the 2024 Party at the Palace, which is a nonsponsorship, nonauction year intriguing, we have decided to add some new twists to this year’s Party at the Palace.

Twist #1: The theme for the 2024 Party at the Place is “Diamonds & Ice.” Add a sparkle to your evening with our unique “Diamonds & Ice” special drinks! We are selling 150 specialty cocktails, and one lucky participant will find a dazzling genuine 1-carat diamond in his/her glass! The remaining cocktails will contain sparkly CZs. Those who purchase a special drink ticket will have a choice of an Old Fashioned or a fruity Giggle Juice, or a mocktail version of either. Each drink will have one large, square ice cube. The ice cube in one drink will have a genuine 1-carat diamond donated by Spray’s Jewelry & Gifts and the 149 others will have 1-carat CZs. Enjoy your drink, then take your ice cube to Brent Buller and his team who will be onsite with their diamond loupes to determine if you have the genuine diamond. It will be so fun to see who walks away with a beautiful, sparkling 1-carat diamond! Thank you to Spray’s for their partnership to provide a unique opportunity this year!
