The Dell Rapids Chamber of Commerce was able to hold their annual banquet before gatherings came to a halt.  The banquet was held at Papa’s Pub on Sunday, March 15th.

Those who attended the event had a meal prepared by Papa’s Pub and heard this year’s guest speaker Jason Freeman.

Prior to Freeman speaking, the Chamber handed out annual awards.

The first award that was given by the Chamber was the winner of the month-long “Battle of the Buns” burger competition between Papa’s Pub, Pinz, Norby’s, and County Fair.  A total of 692 votes were cast during the month of February, and the votes gave the award to Papa’s Pub.

The Chamber also gave away their three annual awards.  The Community Spirit Award was given to Fabulous Moments.  The Business of the Year was awarded to Corduroy and Pixie Dust.  The final recognition were the Volunteers of the Year, Stacy Franka and Tami Drew.
