(KAIR)--Atchison’s annual celebration of success skipped the traditional big night out, with the age of COVID-19 seeing the celebration of community achievement held online.
That happened Monday, during the virtual annual business meeting of the Atchison Area Chamber of Commerce, with awards presented during online ceremonies.
According to a post to the Chamber’s Facebook page, the Salvation Army of Atchison County earned the Organization of the Year award, while Willie’s Sports Pub, located in downtown Atchison, was honored as Entrepreneurs of the Year.
The Blish-Mize Company was recognized with Happy Birthday honors, as the wholesale hardware distributor celebrates 150 years of operations, in Atchison.
Recognition and thanks also went to outgoing Chamber Board members Steve Glaser, Katie McDowell, Robbie Shriwise, and Steve Wheatley.
