Franklin Chamber delays annual awards banquet

The Franklin Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Banquet will be postponed until later in the year after a vote by its board of directors.

“This decision was not made lightly. Our plans are to reschedule the banquet as soon as conditions allow. Invitations will be mailed and a notice in the local newspapers will announce the date. We look forward to celebrating these individuals and groups in the safest way possible” said Linda Harbuck, Franklin Chamber Executive Director.

The 2020 nominations for Citizen of the Year, Duke Citizenship Award, Youth Citizen of the Year, Organization of the Year, and Chamber Member of the Year have been received and winners will be decided soon. Winners will be announced and awards presented later this year when the banquet can be rescheduled.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
