MARQUEE EVENT
Small Business Celebration
After a tough 18 months, we're revamping our Annual Small Business Awards event to celebrate the resiliency of all local small businesses.
 
We are proud to announce our Small Business Celebration, presented by Tech Squared, at the Berglund Special Events Center on October 7, 2021.
 
This year's program will feature a retrospective on how local small businesses responded to unprecedented challenges. Following the scripted portion of the event, attendees will spend the evening networking, exploring the booths/tables set up by local companies, and tasting some local cuisine.
 
Each attendee will receive punch cards granting access to "small plates" offered by local restaurants. We will also be conducting multiple raffles throughout the evening, with prizes generously donated by our sponsors.
