We have so many people to thank for our Small Business Awards Evening being such great a success.
So, let’s begin, thank you to the winners of the 2021 HACC Small Business Awards for supporting local, rising up in times of crisis, bringing in new ideas, and just generally shining with community spirit.
A big thank you to our vendors (Ole Foggy Distillery Chocolat Voyageur Beer Daddy BBQ Gridiron Brewing Busy Day Chefs) who supplied delicious food and drink for all of our guests, you all did a magnificent job, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase such talented local entrepreneurs.
Thank you to all of our members who came out and enjoyed the evening and celebrated our community with us. We were so glad to see you all there and have a chance to talk with you.
Finally, thank you to the Small Business Week Committee who put this all together. It was excellent and we look forward to seeing how great you make next year’s Small Business Awards Evening.
This year the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce recognized six deserving local businesses across a number of categories for our small business awards.
The HACC Community Spirit award was won by Ole Foggy Distillery. A new business in Hampton, but one that was quickly recognized for how much they do for our community. Check out they’re showroom, and you’ll find it loaded with great local products from a variety of artists and craftspeople.
The HACC Innovative Business award was won by Hampton Brewing Co. Ltd.. Hampton Brewing Co. has created a unique space for people to come and enjoy live music and entertainment, and has been described as second to none. On the outskirts of Hampton, it’s a hidden treasure you don’t want to miss.
