ORRVILLE Chamber members cut loose, kicked off their Sunday shoes, and lost those COVID blues as they reassembled at the annual awards dinner and Celebration of Community.
A pleasant summer evening greeted guests on Thursday as they gathered outside Orrville High School for the Orrville Area Chamber of Commerce event that took a more laid-back approach this year.
Guests enjoyed grilled Gerber's chicken and other picnic sides from Buehler’s Ferris Food Truck. After dinner, they all headed inside for the awards presentation in the high school's performing arts center.
It was a welcome change to return in person following last year’s all-virtual event. The chamber still gave the option of attending the 2021 awards virtually, including a carry-out meal from Buehler’s in Orrville.
