A new year is upon us and the Clinton Chamber of Commerce is back to work getting ready for its annual events.

Executive Director Janice Peterson indicates things begin with the annual dinner. Plans are still coming together for this event that gives a recap of the year in review and honors employers in DeWitt County through annual awards.

Peterson is still finalizing plans for the annual dinner she hopes to be able to share soon. If her plans can come together, she looks forward to a fun dinner again this year.

According to Peterson, the Chamber has talked about moving its annual business expo to Clinton Junior High School. The plans for that event are also still being worked out.

Once the business expo wraps up, the Chamber then moves on to May Days. Those dates have been locked for May 15-18 in downtown Clinton.
