It’s safe to say the most prestigious is ‘Business of the Year.’ Past winners include Willow Grove Pharmacy, Pet Planet, Lakeland Ford, Northern Lights Casino, and Lake Country Co-op.

Hughes added each award is special and nominated business owners should be excited.

“Just to be recognized as a finalist is an achievement itself,” she said.

Nominations are open until Jan. 2, 2024. Hughes is hoping to see a big number of nominations as she knows just a little bit of recognition can go along way.

“It’s another way to highlight this business, get people saying, ‘Who are they, I didn’t know them.’”

The awards will be given out on April 12, 2024.
