The Fallon Chamber held its annual Awards Banquet last Friday night and celebrated 75 years of supporting Fallon businesses. Chamber Director Lucy Carnahan, along with a troop of volunteers packed the Fallon Convention Center with over 200 attendees, with many of the category winners unable to attend because they tried to make reservations after all the tickets had been sold.
Catered by 3Cs Catering, Cori and Hill Egger provided a buffet-style feast while Cuppiecakes make decadent desserts and Telegraph provided the coffee.
The following are the nominees in each category with the first business listed, the winner, along with the name of the Chamber member who announced each winner.
