“Hearing about the last year’s accomplishments and the coming year’s expectations is always a win at the Chamber’s Annual Awards and Installation Dinner,” Chamber CEO Jill Lagan said after the event. “Our investors learn about how their dollars are put into programming and the coming year’s activities.”

She also praised the evening’s entertainment.

“Patrick Mahoney and the Celtic Cowboys (and Cowgirls) were absolutely entertaining,” she said.
