Awards presented at the gilded west

The Gilded West was on display last week.

That was the theme of the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce’s annual awards dinner, which was held on April 2 at Phil Long Music Hall at Bourbon Brothers.

Upscale western attire was on full display among the packed house, who were active in bidding on the large variety of silent auction items.

There was also a live auction, where popular local auctioneers Rich and Shannon Shur managed the bidding with their usual blend of energy and humor.

Following dinner, the following awards were given:

2025 Employee of the Year: Patty Bellingham, DreamMakers Bath & Kitchen

2025 Business Person of the Year: Logan Bryson, Line-X

2025 Non-Profit of the Year: Tri-Lakes Cares

2025 Ambassador of the Year: Sandy Shook, Coffee with Sandy

2025 Member of the Year: Justin Styll, Tall Boy Marketing

2025 Economic Development Corporation of the Year: Eagle Rock Distributing Company
