It was a packed house at Keystone’s Warren Station last night for the annual Business Excellence Awards from The Summit Chamber.
Executive director Cheri Ryan was decked out in gold as master of ceremonies. Her co-host, Tom Mason of Epic Print Pros, was shimmering in blue and gold, and razzing the crowd with dad jokes:
“Did you hear I’ve been building boats in my attic? Sales are through the ROOF.”
Joking aside, more than 60 local businesses applied for nine awards recognizing the good work they did across the county last year.
