The Alliance Chamber also conducted an awards banquet last night.
The event was similar, as the Alliance Chamber recognized leaders throughout their community.
Dixie Nelson, Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce says this night is always fun to award the people who make a difference.
"We feel like out members are the most important thing and in a smaller community that's what makes your community tick and a lot of people think we are associated with the city, which we are but we're funded by private membership dues," says Nelson.
The complete list of winners include:
Harold Johnson, Lifetime Achievement Award
Alliance Theatre, Small Business of the Year
Alliance Public Schools, Large Business of the Year
Alliance Rifle Club, Friend of Tourism Award
Patricia Jones, Chamber Volunteer of the Year
Jessica Fryda, Ambassador of the Year
Dan and Julie Oligmueller Family, Agriculture Award
