The Watson Art Center hosted a full house of businesses and organizations being recognized for their many years of collaboration with the Parkland Chamber of Commerce.
Stephen Chychota, Executive director of the chamber group was excited to host this annual event.
"This is always such a fun event because it's just all recognition and appreciation to the members"
There was no shortage of love to go around as 44 different businesses were recognized for their years of working with the chamber group.
In a bit of a coincidence, the Watson Art Center celebrated its 50th year of working with the chamber while hosting this event.
While many businesses were recognized, there was also a very important changing of the guard that was featured.
Gabe Mercier was celebrated for his many years as the Parkland Chamber President, even taking on an extra year to make sure there was a smooth transition.
Jon Yerama will be taking over as president this year.
The chamber expresses its sincere gratitude to these outstanding members for their continued commitment to the Chamber and the business community.
