The Granville County Chamber of Commerce’s annual Thanksgiving Breakfast is being held Wednesday, November 25, at 7:30 am in the Family Life Center of Oxford Baptist Church, Main Street, Oxford.
District 2 House of Representatives member Larry Yarborough will be the guest speaker for the event. Representative Yarborough represents Person and Granville Counties. He is a native of Mississippi and has lived in Roxboro for 20+ years. From 2004 to 2008, he served as a Person County Commissioner. Yarborough labels himself as “a common sense person that looks at issues by applying common sense.”
Bridgestone’s continued sponsorship of this annual event spans 25+ years. The November Thanksgiving breakfast began as an industry-sponsored breakfast, and Bridgestone has graciously remained the event supporter for all these years.
Attendees may expect the usual Southern buffet breakfast, prepared by volunteer men at Oxford Baptist. No one will leave hungry as we depart to begin the Thanksgiving holiday celebration!
Although there is no charge to attend the breakfast, attendees are requested to bring non-perishable food donations (canned food) for Area Congregations In Ministry (ACIM).
