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.
