🔥 DO. NOT. MISS. THIS. 🔥 I’m Lyle Hogue, Workforce Development Manager with the Columbia County Chamber, and I’m personally inviting you to the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet – Backyard Bash on Thursday, Feb 12, 4:30–8:00 PM at the Columbia County Exhibition Center.

This isn’t just another banquet – it’s your all‑access pass to our exclusive Silent Auction, where you can start bidding early and lock in your favorites before the crowd even sits down for dinner. From Windsor’s Fine Jewelers gift certificates and Sol Himalayan Salt Cave VEMI sessions to Cork & Flame dining, weekend stays at Home2Suites, and more, this lineup is stacked with experiences and packages you actually want to win.

And then there’s the showstopper: the Recteq Backyard Beast Grill Package – a fully assembled, pellet‑loaded, Wi‑Fi enabled backyard monster valued at $1,500, ready to smoke up to 8 racks of ribs or 130 wings while you kick back and enjoy the party. If you’re registered for the banquet, you get first crack at all of it: bidding opens at 5:00 PM and closes right after dinner, so you can grab your winnings and take them home the same night. Don’t wait, don’t sleep on this, and definitely don’t let someone else roll out of the Backyard Bash with your grill – register, open your auction link, and start bidding TODAY.

House hunt or hash browns first? In Augusta, GA, local Realtor and Army Veteran Lyle Hogue knows you cannot pour from an empty cup - so before the showings, client calls, and negotiations begin, he is rolling through traffic straight to Sunrise Grill for a quick reset and a solid Southern breakfast. Buyers, this is your reminder that behind every offer, every CMA, and every key hand‑off is a real person putting in real work for you.

If 2026 is the year you want to move from “just looking” to “just closed,” now is the time to get a dedicated pro like Lyle in your corner. Watch this ride‑along, then send a DM or comment “BREAKFAST” to set up a buyer consult - Lyle will bring the expertise, you bring your wish list, and together you can map out the path to your next home in the CSRA.

🚨 Not every “dream deal” in real estate is what it appears to be — especially when you’re navigating a PCS, VA loan, or buying from miles away. As an Army veteran turned Augusta, GA Realtor, I’ve seen too many military families caught off guard by hidden costs and false promises.
At Lyle Hogue Homes, my mission is simple: protect service members, veterans, and their families from costly mistakes while finding a home that truly fits their life and budget. You’ve put in the work — now it’s time for your home to serve you.
🏡 Ready to buy, sell, or PCS with confidence? Let’s connect today — I’ll help you make a move you can trust.
