Before the program began I asked Chamber President Kristy Barse about the record turnout.
The first award was presented to the Educator of the Year Kathy Gleik, who thanked others for making it possible for her to stand in the spotlight.
Volunteer of the Year, Cindy Thury Smith also shared the accolades with those who helped her to achieve recognition.
