ESCANABA — The Delta County Chamber of Commerce Fire & Ice midwinter gala is coming.

The culinary staff at the Freshwater Tavern will be providing a meal including a selection of savory entrees, side dishes, salads, and delectable desserts.

“We at the Chamber of Commerce are looking forward to a great event this year,” Chamber Executive Director Vickie Micheau said. “We are thankful to all of our generous members who have purchased tickets and donated prizes for past events.
