The Farmersville Chamber of Commerce is inviting the community to try their luck at its 2025 Casino Night fundraiser, scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 23, at The Hidden Jewel in Blue Ridge.

The event kicks off at 6:30 p.m., with gaming tables opening at 7 p.m. and running until 10:30 p.m. Tickets are $45 per person and include event admission, a dinner voucher, open bar access and $2,000 in “funny money” to play with at various game tables. Additional funny money will be available for purchase at the event.

Christi Houston, executive director for the organization, expects the event to be a ‘crowd pleaser’.

We’re excited to bring the community together for a fun night that supports local business and strengthens Farmersville connections,” Houston said.

Casino Night will feature one roulette table, four blackjack tables, two craps tables and two Texas Hold’em tables, providing a variety of games for attendees to enjoy. Music will also be part of the evening’s entertainment.

Two raffles will offer guests the opportunity to win prizes. A 50/50 raffle will be held, with tickets priced at $20 each or six for $100. A large item raffle will also be available at the same price point. Raffle prize donations are being accepted through Aug. 15.

Donors can contact the Chamber at [email protected] for more information.

The Hidden Jewel is located at 7611 Clay Drive in Blue Ridge. The Chamber encourages guests to mark their calendars and prepare for a night of fun.
