WHOW/WEZC/dewittdailynews.com has won the Chamber of Commerce's Small Business of the Year Award.

At the Thursday Clinton Chamber of Commerce Business Expo, the Chamber did its annual awards ceremony which traditionally is held at the annual meeting in January. Due to COVID, the meeting was virtual this year and the awards were held during the Business Expo instead.

Chamber Board President Josh Shofner congratulated the Clinton radio station and its online news publication along with Save-A-Lot, who won the medium business of the year, and Warner Hospital and Health Services as the large business of the year. Second Chance for Pets was the non-profit of the year.

Executive Director of the Clinton Chamber Marian Brisard was very pleased with the turnout and response from vendors. She felt it was nice to see everyone's faces once again.

Nearly 50 manned booths were set up with lots of giveaways for those that came out. Brisard says the Chamber can now take a breath as the Business Expo wraps up a busy six-week stretch with May Days, the Chamber golf outing last week, and Thursday's Business Expo.

She says it will not be long and they will start to turn their attention to the haunted house which has been given the 'thumbs-up' for this fall.
