It was a banner year for the Clinton Chamber of Commerce's annual Business Expo as the event returned to its spring roots at Clinton High School.

Executive Director Marian Brisard says she was very pleased with the turnout for this year's Expo calling it a banner year.

Last year, the event was held in June due to several factors including access to the high school, where the event is traditionally held. Brisard felt it was nice to return to the springtime date that coincided with spring break at the school district.

While several components of the annual Expo were back to normal, the Chamber once again this year once again held its annual awards ceremony at the Expo, traditionally reserved for the annual banquet which was held virtually in 2022.

The 'Small Business of the Year' was The Clinton Journal. The 'Medium Business of the Year' was Calvert Funeral Home'. The 'Large Business of the Year' was First National Bank and Trust and the non-profit of the year was The Vault.
