Additional chamber banquet honors

The recent 99th Annual Chamber of Commerce Banquet was held on October 3 at the fairgrounds, and many chamber members enjoyed a meal provided by Black Bear Catering. 

Some of the notable speakers were Senator John Barrasso and Governor Mark Gordon. The chamber provided a video presentation instead of having a single main speaker due to COVID. Featured were Governor Mark Gordon, authors Michael and Kathleen Gear, CJ Box and Craig Johnson. 

For recognition of service on the chamber board for six-plus years were Deb Tudor (2013-2020), Greg Willson (2013-2019), Phillip Scheel (2011-2019) and Barb Heinze (2013-2019). Also recognized board members that served were Vivian Butchart (2015-2020), Jennifer Fisher (2019-2020) and Amanda Kraushaar (2017-2020). 

Also, the 2019 Volunteer of the Year award, went to John and Sonja Holm and Keith and Pam Kerr.

The banquet sponsors were Range, Tumbleweed Propane, Big Horn Federal and Black Bear Cafe.
