Local community members, volunteers and people gathered last week to celebrate The Lincoln County Chamber of Commerce’s annual awards banquet.
The Red, White and Bluegrass banquet was held at Historic Arcadia Farm on Sept. 15.
Lincoln County Chamber Director Jenny Maloney said hosting her first annual banquet as director has been a special experience.
“I’m proud to be part of a community that continues to support local businesses, celebrate its people and work together toward a stronger future,” Maloney said. “It was an honor to bring everyone together and celebrate all that makes Lincoln County such a wonderful place to call home. A huge thank you to the Chamber Board Members who helped every step of the way and made the banquet a success. I appreciate each of them so much.”
