The Small Business of the Year Awards program begins with a reception at 5 p.m. with a cash bar and a wide array of scrumptious hors d’oeuvres provided by the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites.

Navigate through the channels and visit with the nominees for the Small Business of the Year Awards. Discover new passages as you talk with the nominees and learn about their products and services. Join us to celebrate our area’s small businesses and the businesses selected as the outstanding small business for this year in their respective categories, including Manufacturing/Industrial, Service/Retail, Entrepreneurial and Minority. Each of our finalists will receive a certificate and the winners will receive a beautiful clock provided by our sponsors: Embarq and KeyBank.
