We had a wonderful time celebrating the Chamber and some very special award recipients at the 2023 Hardin County Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting and Awards Program held at the historic State Theater on July 20, 2023.
Headlined by the premier sponsor, The Wright Legacy Group, the evening included live music from Celtic trio nu Skylark, a delicious meal from Back Home, a year-in-review video and the introduction of the 2023-2024 HCCC Board of Directors. Also, outgoing Board Chairman Philip Tabb was recognized and thanked for his dedicated service to the Chamber.
Heartland Communications Community Storyteller Greg Milby and WHAS-TV’s “Great Day Live!” host Claudia Coffey, served as masters of ceremonies and did a beautiful job engaging the crowd.
Several awards were presented to some surprised recipients.
