Burke County law enforcement officers will be recognized March 14 at an annual banquet in Morganton honoring those who protect the community and give back beyond the badge.
The 4th Annual Law Enforcement Appreciation Banquet is scheduled for Saturday, March 14, from 6-11 p.m. in the banquet room at the Foothills Higher Education Center, 2128 S. Sterling St.
Hosted by Burke LEAF, the event supports law enforcement officers, deputies and troopers serving Burke County.
Organizers say the evening will recognize not only those who protect local residents but also those who volunteer their time and contribute to the broader community.
Sponsors will attend a cocktail reception and silent auction before dinner, drinks and dancing. A guest speaker and formal recognition of officers are also planned.
Retired Chief Jason Whisnant will serve as guest speaker. Chris Jernigan, a Morganton City Council member and executive director of Southmountain Children and Family Services, will act as master of ceremonies.
Music and entertainment will be provided by DJ Drew Parham of Charlotte’s Mix 107.9.
Dinner will be catered by Countryside Catering Services and will include beef tenderloin, grilled Italian chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes, pasta salad, rolls and appetizers. Dessert will be provided by Jamie’s Cakes.
Professional bartenders Joe Belanger and Heather Baker will serve beer, wine and spirits. Photography for the evening will be handled by Pamela Baker Photography.
In addition to ticketed attendance and sponsorships, organizers encourage those unable to attend to support the event by donating a gift or service for the silent auction.
