The COVID-19 pandemic makes 2020 a year many may prefer to forget but there is hope for the future. We’ve decided to make that the focus of our series of end-of-year stories.
Local businesses were negatively affected by the pandemic but most are using the challenges they faced in 2020 to move onto a new year.
Humboldt Chamber Executive Director Brent Fitzpatrick said businesses will be able to build on the positive results of the past year.
“It was a struggle there is no doubt but what showed was a gleaming light of the positive nature of businesses in our region,” Fitzpatrick said. “They saw what the challenges were that the pandemic was bringing and they adapted to it almost immediately.”

GIBSON COUNTY, Tenn. The Gibson County Sheriff’s Office hopes to help promote local shopping and building relationships in the community.
“Here’s just a token of our appreciation and spread a little goodwill here at Christmas time. This has been a rough year on everybody,” said Gibson County Sheriff Paul Thomas.
To spread holiday cheer, the sheriff’s office has created chamber bucks, given to those who do good acts in the community.
“The other day I locked the keys in my truck, and me and a deputy were trying to get the keys out of my truck and a citizen a man and his wife and two kids stopped to help us,” Sheriff Thomas said.
