Organizers say it's also one of the chamber's most fun events.

"It's always a fun day and one of the most entertaining parts of the day is getting to laugh when the men dress in drag to get to tee off from the ladies tees," Haynes said.

There will also be a hole-in-one contest for a chance to win a new car from John Megel Chevrolet and CruiseOne is offering a putting contest for a free cruise.
