Business Hall of Fame and Awards of Distinction

The Business Hall of Fame is the Chamber's premiere event honoring local businesses. The Hall of Fame began in 1990 and up to four businesses were inducted into the Hall each year. The event also included Awards of Distinction such as Young Emerging Business, Excellence in Small Business and Community Service.  

The luncheon will still be highlighted by the presentation of the Hall of Fame Awards. The Hall of Fame Awardees are Greenwood Pools & Spas and Shoe Fly Stores. Excellence in Small Business will be awarded to J&O Fireplaces. The Young Emerging Business awardee is Just Breathe Salt Spa & Yoga Studio, Inc. And the Non-Profit of the Year is Operation Our Town.

A subcommittee consisting of Chamber staff as well as members of the former Business Hall of Fame Committee are overseeing the details associated with the Business Hall of Fame luncheon. ​
